Prunus spinosa_Midway_blossoms. And few pics from the latest visit to Czech Kars Protected Landscape.

The blossoms have just opened.  Snow white colour at the beggining, but later on they will gradually get a tint of very light yellow.

Prunus spinosa, yamadori, blossoms







 Just a few hours before the quarantine, we have managed to visit  our favorite place_Czech Kars to see the beauty of blossoms of Cornus in their natural habitat.






Remains of the human activity.  There used to be a limestone quarry...


A black locust

A lot of dead spruces there.   Unfortunately - this is a very common picture across Czech and many places in Europe.

    Ahoj Vláďo, kvety spolu s plodmi sú úžasné. Vôňu si viem predstaviť až sem, do svojej obývačky :) Veľa zdravia!

    Díky Rasťo. Plody na stromcích jsou důsledkem nemoci, která loni a předloni dramaticky snížila stavy kosí populace. To, že něco podobného může postihnout "pány tvorstva", bylo tehdy něco nepředstavitelného...

    Stromků v zahradě nakvétá docela dost. Máme se na co těšit:)

      Drienky do misky:))

      Určitě by se našly, ba co víc - moc by se mi hodily, ale ne. Tohle je chráněná krajinná oblast.

Prunus mahaleb_Airlayered

  Stupid or Greedy?   Well, why not both... For a good number of years I am planning to reduce the number of my trees.   And yes, some of them have gone, just to be fair with me.   Few of them left for free to my brothers in arms - bonsai enthusiasts and some of them via the European bonsai auction to bargain hunters. Sounds good, doesn't it? But at the same time I have started few projects ( seedlings cutting_Pinus nigra, Taxus cuspidata and Pinus parviflora_Zuisho cuttings, bought some interesting varieties of satsuki...   So at the end there is more leaves/needles than before.   And  NOT enough of that - I was about to give away a little mahaleb that was a honorable member of the Downsize club.  On the D day I have taken it from the shelf with the plan to let it go to some new place with more attentive hands.    I know this is the moment I should close my eyes and to armour my heart...  What do you think?...

Prunus mahaleb_Zorro

 The first few days of the new year are a bit lazy. So why not to take the advantage of it and share some other trees? The mahaleb Zorro is one of my largest trees.  Well, better to say heaviest ones.  It is not very large, in fact it is just about 50 cm in height and about 70 cm in width.  But the trunk is quite massive and the pot needs to be quite large to accomodate the long surface root.   The shape  is not very typical for deciduous tree but I do like it that way.  And that counts...   Still long way to go...   The "new part" clashes with the old one - just looking like a baby's arse.  Not to mention  a better taper and finer ramification... Hope to find some time later on to repot it and while there to change the planting angle. The left side is right now planted too deep. Height: 50 cm Width:  70 cm Pot: China
