EVG reader Joe reports that, just before 6 a.m., a large branch of the flowering pear tree outside the Duane Reade on East 14th Street near First Avenue split and fell...
No word on the shape of the rest of the tree...

Soon to be former Duane Reade as they prepare to move right next door to the CVS around the corner on First Ave. Ugh.
I'm no tree expert, but walking passed it this morning, it appears the remaining half is leaning on the scaffolding and will probably come down if it was moved.
Callery Pear trees are common in NY - they don't really have pears. One fell and crushed my car a few years ago. I did some research back then and here is what I found http://mingum.blogspot.com/2008/10/musings-on-callery-pear-tree.html

We love tips
Have a story idea or tip about something happening in the East Village? Or maybe a photo? Or several photos? Or video! We'd love to hear about it. Or see it. Or something. Please go here to submit a tip.
By the way
Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.

A shame about the tree.
I did not know a pear tree dwelled on E. 14th Street. Hope the rest of the tree is okay.
