in Wildlife gardening
We have a wildlife garden in which my wife scatters her extensive range of bonsai trees.  Here is a crab apple tree in full blossom.  The tree is about 80 years old and produces small apples each year:




At about 750 feet on the western edge of The Pennines.  Clay soil.

    That’s amazing after 80 years. I’ve just planted a fresh, new Crab apple and really enjoying the blossom right now, as are the bees.

    I wish I could garden all year round!
