April ~ Mistletoe seedling 1.2 With Holdfasts ~ 2

Mistletoe Seedling
This seedling is on the Medlar tree and seems to have 3 holdfasts; I guess this is why they do better in the fork of a branch where there are two surfaces to aim at.

Amalancier Tree ~ 1

Amalancier Tree
We have this in a pot at the moment as we aren't sure it would suit our soil but a neighbour has one in their border which seems to be doing well so I think we might take a chance as it is good and strong and it's a beautiful tree which could grow well.

Buds just about to open.

Spring Flowers 2.2 ~ Pieres

Pieres colouring up nicely

Bramley Apple Tree ~ 1

Bramley Apple Tree

Three main branches and three flowering tips

We only planted this tree this winter and it seems to be full of buds.
I guess we should enjoy the flower blossom but not let it fruit during it's first year.
We may let one set fruit grow ~ we will see when the blossom falls.
