Another tree planted............

Another tree, the last that we had waiting for planting has been put into the ground at the cemetery. It will replace the pine tree that died and had to be felled. When we have time that old tree which has served it's purpose and added to the magic of the cemetery will have to be cleaned up. No one wants to use the timber because it's only pine and has no real resistance to rot and by the look of it, is not really tight grained enough from which to make furniture.

Luverly - what a great day to plant a tree

All the other trees are starting to move and they should be leafing up soon.

The ornamental [Cleveland] pears are in blossom and looking great. They are trees that not only give this beautiful display in spring, but then also have a really lovely colour in autumn.

Even though the trees in the recreation reserve and cemetery are of a larger initial size, it will take a while before they show up really well in the landscape. Hopefully these will produce the effect the committee are trying to create.
