MY FLOWERING PLUM

mousiegirl — Mon, 26 Feb 2018 19:21:10 GMT

Because we had unusually warm weather a while ago, now it is very cold and rainy, my plum has burst into bloom earlier than normal. This tree produces small fruit, didn't realize that it would produce any fruit. Until we did some heavy pruning ten years after we moved in, didn't know this tree existed. It was very small and spindly, but recovered quickly, and now needs a good pruning.

@cbrite Yes, the flowers are white/pale pink with a deeper center, really pretty up close.

I think the birds, squirrels and rats get them as I never see many, also if they drop into the dog patch, I know my male eats them, as he will eat anything, have to watch him.

@mousiegirl, gorgeous! Thanks for posting.

We have had an amazing winter here on the east coast. I read last night March will bring us a few nor’easters. It will be awhile before we are in the garden again. LM

I live in western WA and all the pink and white flowering trees are blooming everywhere!! Glorious!!! Even saw some rhodies blooming already too. My lilac bush has buds and the daffodils are up too. Looks so cheery when it is grey outside, which is most the time.

So pretty, @mousiegirl We have a lot of blooming trees right now here in my area of northern California, too. Spring blossoms are wonderful!
