It?EUR??,,????'???s not unusual to see tree limbs littering the street after a big rainstorm, but Graham Avenue loses its foliage even on a clear day.

Graham Avenue in the New York borough is lined with notoriously frail Bradford pear trees, which, though beautiful to the eye, have become a nuisance.

?EUR??,,????'??They?EUR??,,????'???re pretty outrageous,?EUR??,,????'?? said Community Board 1 District Manager Gerald Esposito, who said the trees were a constant source of frustration ?EUR??,,????'??+ not just for his constituents, but for the Parks Department, too.

According to the 2005-06 ?EUR??,,????'??NYC Street Tree Census,?EUR??,,????'?? Callery Pear trees, of which Bradfords are a type, are the city?EUR??,,????'???s third-most-common species. According to Brooklyn?EUR??,,????'???s forestry director, Bradford pear trees have weak branch connections.

The Parks Department, which is responsible for inspecting trees and removing fallen limbs, could not give specific data, but a spokesperson said the department is fully committed to the city?EUR??,,????'???s 600,000 street trees.

Of the 46 tree pits between Meeker Avenue and Grand Street, six held cracked Bradfords, three of which were tagged for removal; two held solid Bradfords; nine held Bradford stumps; and one was empty.

?EUR??,,????'??We no longer plant this type of tree, and replace with a variety of different species,?EUR??,,????'?? said Parks spokesperson Jesslyn Tiao.

But Frank Marino, 37, the owner of Doers Video, who raised the issue at a recent community board meeting, said regular inspections don?EUR??,,????'???t always help because the trees can break randomly.

?EUR??,,????'??They came in July and deemed the tree safe,?EUR??,,????'?? said Marino. ?EUR??,,????'??And three weeks later, it lost more limbs.?EUR??,,????'??

The branches fell on a clear day, said Marino, who has ?EUR??,,????'??a sheet-load of complaints to 311.?EUR??,,????'??
