visited the 9/11 memorial site today.

the Callery Pear was buried under a ton of rubble, but still survived.

The Parks department did a good job of keeping it going.

This HC was apparently hit by lightning, the major limbs fell and all except one sprouted. As far as I can tell they must have rooted because the limb back to main trunk are rotting away.

Every winter on one of our walks I marvel at the autumn fruit of this persimmon in the orchard of a neighbour.

 

How I wish I’d planted one in my garden.

Amazing tree spotted in Miami today in Bayside..  From google seems to be a banyan tree and only about one hundred years old.

Yeah my wife thinks they were from sports direct!  Tell you what, anyone who thinks the UK is pricey should head to the USA.  Haven’t been for fifteen years but I always used to find everything really cheap in the states.  Not any more!

The pound is currently weak vs dollar, that's why Americans are loving their UK holidays at the moment.
