This is the vineyard parcel just outside our back gate. It hasn't been pruned yet. In fact, it may not be pruned at all, but ripped out this spring. One of the guys that works for the owners of this parcel told me last year that one of the parcels near our house will be torn out this year and re-planted the following year. Maybe it's this one. I'll keep you posted.
This photo is from a week ago. There are a lot more plum blossoms on that tree now.
That flowering tree in the background center is the plum that Ken grew from a pit. The fruit is small and really only good for cooking. The pits are not "freestone," so eating the plums is not easy. But the flowers are nice in the spring and, during summer, the leaves are a deep red color.
It will be nice to see that entire line of trees greened up again. Tasha is so elegant.
ReplyDeleteThe plum tree looks beautiful. Who cares about the fruit.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tree, beautiful pup. I’m looking forward to seeing a picture of that tree with its deep red leaves.
ReplyDeleteNice that Tasha was such a perfect mannequin and that she agreed to stand directly in the front of the plum tree!
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to Tasha Tuesdays!
