2023 - 2024
➽ "The Giving Tree 2022-23" (ie. last season)
(for all the whats wheres and whys etc etc)
has been widely cultivated as a ... street tree in the temperate regions of Australia.
I love its deep maroon-coloured leaves. It hasn't fruited at all, perhaps as it is still too young?
(NB. I found out what type of tree it was using this App).
I water it most summer days (twice or more at a time), hobbling across with my walking stick and trusty 9-litre/2.3 gal blue plastic watering can!
"I'm the crazy old man who talks to the tree!" 🤣
I know... it's not much but... [grins]

It's been a hot summer
OK, it's officially Autumn!
A few leaves have started to fall
We are way into Autumn and still nothing! It's a resilient bugger, huh?!
It's starting... leaves off the top branches: gone!
Down they come... some good windy days help
