The Callery Pear tree, which is in the same family as the Bradford Pear , has a distinctive smell that many people find disgusting.
The peak stink comes between mid-March and mid-April as the tree begins to bloom.
NYC Parks estimates it saves the city $8million a year through stormwater interception, energy conserved, and air pollutants removed.
