Bindweed has been crawling up my Princeton Elm tree. Making it look like the tree has white flowers.

Chinese Catalpa Flowers
The Chinese Catalpa flowers early in life. The bean pods that form later are thinner than Catalpa speciosa.
Purple Green
The Purple Beech and Bigfoot Willow add contrasting colors in the landscape. Also their growth speed is in stark contrast of each other.
Nanking Cherry Fruit
The Nanking Cherry is producing some fruit this year. The birds are quickly eating this fruit this year, because the hard Spring freeze knocked out other fruiting plants.
Fast Growing Willow Cuttings
I have cut a lot of Bigfoot Willow Hybrid stakes and the cuttings are ready to be planted. By this fall, they can be over 10 feet tall.
Golden Hops
Golden Hops is a very fast growing vine. It grows back from the roots every spring and suckers some.
Flowering Fruit Trees
This spring the fruit trees are flowering early. Double Red Delicious Apple full of flowers. Northstar Sour Cherry with many flower blossoms. 3 pears in our orchard are flowering: Kieffer, Pineapple, and Starking Delicious Pears. The Sun ‘n Snow Poplar is always looking like its flowering. Golden Leaves are very easy to notice.
March Flowers
Flowering has already started in March this year. Crimson Gold Nectarine Flowering. Bigfoot Willow Hybrid Windbreak with yellow flowers. Nanking Cherry full of blossoms.
Hinge Cutting Elm
There is an elm tree where I plan to plant fruit trees. Instead of killing it, I did a hinge cut on it. Then it can stay alive and give a little wildlife cover.
Frosty Day
Heavy frost covered a lot of the trees. For a short period of time, the frost gives this world a look of fantasy.
