Summer Redbud


For every one of the beautiful flowers a seed pod developed. This is the first year that has happened. It was incredible. Wayne and I spent at least 15 min. pulling seed pods off the tree. I'm not certain what would have happened, but we don't want it to expend energy making seeds. We prefer it to grow up.

Summer Pear


The pear trees have also lost their flowers have fully developed leaves. They seem to be healthy. After nearly 5 years they are now over 10' tall.
