Cattle Pasture has slowly disappeared on this Oasis. The young trees are creating wildlife habitat where there was none before.

Golden View
Golden Leaves can be intense or duller, depending on the cultivar and species involved. While this Forsythia selection has leaves full of vivid color, the Lilac cultivar below is more of a subtle spectrum of colors.
Apple Patience
The Pristine Apple has been in the orchard over 10 years now without any fruit yet. This year is looking promising though with all the flowers.
Evan’s Cherry Delivers
The Evan’s Cherry is starting to become plentiful on Kleckner Oasis because of all the suckers I am moving. This is the mother and is full of cherry blossoms. Last year she produced a good crop, so hopefully she starts producing bountiful crops regularly.
Flowering Iowa Orchard
Many fruit trees are flowering in my different Orchards around the Oasis. This Chojuro Pear has flowered for a few years now and I hope will bear fruit one of these times. It is in a young orchard of mine, planted among other Asian Pear cultivars. Montmorency Cherry and Kieffer Pear are full of flowers, […]
Should I or Shouldn’t I
This is my first cultivar of the Boxelder tree. Boxelders are considered trash trees by many, but there are also various cultivars available. The Golden Boxelder is the first cultivar of this species that I am trying.
Redbud Flower Display
My young Redbud trees are becoming more reliable for their flowering as they mature. I started these trees from seed and soon I will have more seed if these flowers turn into pods later this year.
White Carmine Jewel Cherry Flowers
2 of the Carmine jewel Cherry Bushes I have are loaded with a good flower display. These bushes are getting too big for the little area I gave them. I will have to start pruning them to help control their size, as I thought their height and spread wouldn’t be much more than 6 feet.
Birch Life
The Birches awaken in spring with their catkins. The catkins will soon fall off and the female cones will start to grow.
Fruit Pear Flowers
The Pears are full of flowers, so could be full of flowers later. This pear was bought as a Bartlett Pear, but I have guessed that it is a Kieffer Pear.
