Hi Tim ,
It's a beautiful tree you have there - do you now the latin name ot this tree? The birds will love the berries on it.
When I see them , I think the plants are looking verry nice into your perimeter raised bed.
Nice work Tim .
PS. You can see the pics now on my page - I am curious for your comment.
Best Regards
Rita
Hi Rita. Yes, it's Sorbus aria (or a close cultivated relative - apparently it was planted as part of the 'Plant a Tree in 73' campaign). Their common name over here is Whitebeam (due to the white downy undersides to it's leaves). By the time I took on the plot last october (see my very first post) the birds had stripped it of it's berries. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes this time around :o)
Hoping to soon visit your Care2 profile.
All the Best,
Tim :o)
