Sweetheart Apricot has a good crop of fruit this year. After I eat the fruit, I will have nuts to eat.

Ripe Ussuri Plums
I am eating Ussuri Plums daily now. The few trees I have been starting to come in good production.
Largest Tree Leaf
The different Paulownia species have the largest tree leaves. Above is Diamond with a gigantic Paulownia Elongata leaf on her.
Ussuri Plum Fruit
Ussuri Plum fruit is starting to ripen. The fruit is larger than the wild American Plums and taste better, too.
Different Sour Cherries
I have harvested a lot of Cherries today. The lighter Evans Cherry contrasts with a darker Montmorency Cherry.
Picking Sour Cherries
Red Fruit Trees
Immature Mulberries on this tree have painted over the tree in a red color. Soon the Mulberry tree will be loaded with ripe fruit and the animals will help spread its seed.
Converting Cattle Pasture into Forest
I keep on planting various different tree species, varieties, and cultivars in former cow pasture. The landscape is slowly turning into the oasis that I envision.
Variegated Catalpa Leaves
The new leaves on a Variegated Catalpa are a lot brighter than surrounding green vegetation. The growth is similar to regular green catalpas because the variegation fades later in the summer.
Red Wings Maple
Red Wings Maple is a cultivar of the Tatarian Maple. The seeds have attractive red wings that last for awhile in the summer.
