hedgelaying

young elms bent overA living handrail beside the steps in my own garden: I'm making it by cutting halfway through the wee trees and folding them over: hoping to have it finished before i'm doddery enough to need it.

Two colours of flowers on one treeThis fancy pink flowering-cherry had been grafted on to roots of plain wild cherry....but both had grown, the plain white one is crowding-out the fancy one cos it's more vigorous. I would recommend gradually pruning back the plain white one to let the fancy one thrive.
