In light of current events, I’m sharing what little bits I can. In this year’s race toward Spring, it was neck and neck between the Asian pear tree and the flat peach tree.
The peach tree took the checkered flag.

I’m a little worried that we down under are going into Winter just as this virus hits. Hopefully the double whammy doesn’t have an extra impact 😦

My crab is in third place. It leaves out then blooms. Very pretty though, and makes great jelly.

I’m always jealous of your peaches in the summer. At my old house, the birds always ate the fruit before we could pick it. (The trees are small ornamentals, so they don’t produce an abundant crop.) I’ll miss seeing them flower this year. Wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve already burst into bloom
Your photo is lovely. That first pop of color when everything else is brown is always a joy.

This tree produces so much, the birds can eat well and there’s still enough for me. If you plant some small ones, there is netting available to keep the birds away.

My grandmother used to net her blueberries. If these had been in my backyard, I would have. But they were in the front. Pretty landscaping, but I suspect the neighbors wouldn’t have been happy with me if I netted them. Maybe if I made them all cobbler…

I’m thinking we might have lost our Red Bud tree – I haven’t seen any blossoms yet, and the temps have been pretty mild.

That’s always sad. I lost an apricot tree a few years ago that was a real show stopper. CCRs require us to have a flowering tree in the front yard, and mine produced great apricots.

I don’t see much color at my house. Everything is either brown, or green. Nothing is blooming yet. Even if it did, I kill all plants and based on my black thumb, we have had to remove all the dead plants. So, I have no flowering plants.
I do remember my Grandma had a peach and an apple tree in her yard when I was growing up. They always produced well and were beautiful. She also had the best garden with blueberries and many veggies that we don’t plant.

Trees are fairly easy compared to flowerbeds. A little pruning and most of them stay pretty happy.

You say that, but my sister will tell you, I have no talent.
I killed a cactus. Just not for me. Now if I could have a live-in helper… ah, but I digress.

Thank you so much for sharing a BRIGHT moment in the natural cycle of things. I love flowering fruit trees and they don’t do particularly well in most of Florida. I love redbuds, too, and the same thing is true. SO nice to see yours, offering a sign of rebirth and hope, and reminding folks that life will go on! More, please???? 😀 ❤
