Grafted Fruit Tree Flowering
My first grafted tree is flowered this month. This is a Pineapple Pear tree.
Shiny Willow Seeds
The Shiny Willow(Salix lucida) has attractive fluff with the seeds. Soon the wind will take them and they will have a chance at a new beginning.
Orange Bark
The Scotch Pine(Pinus sylvestris) has an orange color on its branches. This is a big difference compared to other pine trees that have normal brown branches.
Spring Honey Locust Pods
The pods on this young Honey Locust have continued to hang into Spring. Most trees have already dropped their pods.
Poop Ball Tree
I came across a tree in the forest that I nicknamed the poop ball tree. This is a Bitternut Hickory that has many galls on the limbs.
Tree Gives Birth
An American Basswood tree has a rotten, hollowed out trunk. A basswood sucker has sprung up in the middle.
Biggest Tree
This cottonwood is the largest tree on our property. Over 100′ tall and over 20 feet in circumference.
Large Tree Hole
The largest American Basswood(Tilia americana) has large holes in the main trunk. The trunk is hollowed out and I would not be surprised is the tree falls sooner rather than later.
Dried Fruit
In this blog, I mentioned that there was a lot of fruit harvested last fall. I was able to preserve a lot of the fruit by drying it.
