New Cherry Tree

New Cherry Tree
Originally uploaded by ChathamGardens

Spring continues its magnificent return to Chatham Gardens. Here is a picture of a new addition this year, a Snow Fountain Weeping Cherry Tree. It was purchased as a replacement for the existing Kwanzan Cherry Tree which we thought was destined for the wood pile because of some sort of root rot. After we dug it up (I use the term we since I am responsible for writing the checks that pay the people who are actually doing the work) WE, discovered that the original plastic basket had been left in place when the tree was first planted in 2004.

So we found a new spot for it and much to my surprise - and joy - the tree blossomed this year, which it did not do last year. If you click on the picture above you will see the Kwanzan Cherry Tree in bloom along with some of the other gardens this May.

June will surely bring more changes and beauty.
