| | | the best tree in the garden
I was reminded of a eucalyptus tree I had in the garden,when it flowered the tree was covered all day and into the early evening with bees then a nightshift of moths etc.
the other tree was a gaunt apple tree with a crown standing some 12 feet high, the blossom was very heavy and the crop stupendous again itburgeoned with bees and insects
If you could hve only one tree in your garden for your pleasure (and wildlife)
what would yoursbe and why? |

Quince - Cydonia oblonga. Excellent in bud, great in flower, marvelous in fruit. |

Can be grown as a tree or a bush, don't confuse Cydonia oblonga with the flowering quince Chaenomeles japonica which is more shrub like. |

If I had room, an Oak, as it supports the largest number of species. Otherwise I've always been keen on Birch. | | | |
