I'd planned a post about the other apple trees blooming right now in our orchard at the new(ish) house at Struan Farm, in addition to Monty's Surprise.
So here's Peasgood Nonsuch and Jack Humm (latter is a crab apple), also our new nashi:
But as I was out wandering around I noticed that our three quince trees are FINALLY FLOWERING! Profusely! We're into year five, maybe six on two of these trees, the third was planted a year ago, and I was beginning to lose hope that these trees were going to work out for us.
So this is the real story. There was a happy dance around the orchard, the dog thought I was nuts.
The flowers are quite beautiful, aren't they? I'm sure the fruit will be too....
