John's "Awanui Avenue" of flowering cherry trees in the Cottage Paddock is starting to look pretty beautiful here at Struan Farm.
What's interesting is that the trees on one side are larger and bloom first. We're not sure if they get more sun, the soil is different, or they're just more protected than the other side, but there's a noticeable difference.
In the Pet Paddock we have two different flowering cherry trees, "Rosemary" and "Maurie." Rosemary was planted by John's sisters Julie and Anna to honour their mum after she passed away. John planted Maurie for his dad after he passed away three years later. They look across the paddock to one another.
For those who knew them, it would be no surprise that "Maurie" blooms first!
While Rosemary isn't blooming just yet, when she does she is far more beautiful, again, no surprise there.
