AN OLD APPLE TREE COVERED WITH BLOSSSOMS
A JAPANESE FLOWERING CHERRY TREE
JAPANESE CHERRY TREE BLOSSOMS
ATTRACTIVE BARKFriday, 7:30 AM. 49 degrees, wind WNW, calm. The sky is somewhat overcast and the barometer predicts rain, although it does not appear imminent.
This Japanese flowering cherry tree (there are many cultivars, I won’t hazard a guess) in a neighbor’s yard is quite nice. It blooms heavily, and its bark is attractive in all seasons.
There are few trees more beatiful than a craggy old apple tree covered with blossoms. Unfortunately, people often cut them down because the useless apples litter the ground, attract insects and are difficult to pick up and dispose of. But a little seasonal mess is a small price to pay for such beauty.
