I have a large deciduous tree in my back yard, I think its an English Ash. Before I moved here I had never experienced a deciduous tree from such close proximity and I believed that such trees simply had leaves in summer and bare branches in winter. I was wrong! Its fascinating to watch the progression of the seasons through this tree as it is constantly changing.
English Ash Tree
No sooner has autumn turned the leaves golden and released them from their home on the branches, then a few days later there are the tiniest little buds starting to form for the new leaves. Last week I went interstate for a family wedding and mini holiday and the tree looked bare with tiny little new buds. Six days later, I have leaves! The tree is festooned with greenery! In fact, my whole garden has seemingly sprung!
The daffodils and jonquils nod their yellow heads in the breeze,
there are vibrant anemones, daisies and poppies bordering the vegie patch,
beautiful pink blossoms on the fruit trees,
and the whole thing topped off by the heady aroma of daphne. Its a lovely welcome home!
