Our local trees

[capney]

We had a hike around "Our village" yesterday as part of the three day scarecrow festival.
As well as taking pictures of the scarcrows I took loads of the wondeful trees around.
I think they are all looking great this year.

Copper Beech. a real treat later on in the season


Cherries are everywhere






Silver berch coming along nicely


Not sure about these next few.

Lovely trees, Robert. The dark pink one may be a plum and the last one is a Monkey Puzzle ...Pete, why have you not IDd these, pray tell?

I didn't know we were supposed to.

Go on, mention Pissards Plum if you want to. ;D

Nice photos Robert.

I think the dark pink is a cherry prunus and, as Vikky says, the last one is Monkey Puzzle - Araucaria araucana.

Oh, I did enjoy following you on your walk, Robert.

There are quite a few of those Monkey Puzzle trees at home. I always find it strange that they grow in our climate as I think they look so exotic and should grow elsewhere and not thrive as they do in north Germany.

Another scarecrow walk on the cards today if the weather holds.
Loads of scarecrow pictures to be posted soon and no doubt I can find some more trees to I.D...

Pete, Robert said he didn't know what they were ... so I thought we were supposed to tell him if we knew ....

I have three, yes three, plums on my P Pissardi ... hopefully I will eat them before the birds .......
