When the flower dies


As much as I love a cherry blossom..
it is the cherry that I look forward to most.
The petals have blown away...
and some of the stems will drop off without a purpose.

The ones that remain...
will begin to swell at the end of the stem.
That...my friends is a baby cherry.

A baby cherry is good.
I'll keep you posted on that baby cherry.

all for now...

  3. Our cherry tree is still in full blossom and the apple trees are just coming into blossom. I am praying that there are some bees out in our little orchard, as last year was marginally better than the one before. The mite problem as hit Island bees hard.

  4. All's well when the flower dies...and the baby cherry begins to form...and the new leaves look mighty healthy.

    We have a red sunset maple, where the flowers died...and the new leaves never opened. One fair-sized tree (in a row of many) stands guard quite lifeless this spring. What to do?

  7. Cherries are some of my favorite fruits. I'm not sure if it is actually the cherry or just because it is red. I tend to choose the color red in anything from food to shoes.

  11. I'd love to have a cherry tree in my yard, or any fruit tree for that matter. I do have a fig tree growing in alrge pot and I get about 150 figs in late summer...they are so good!
