COLOUR ?

The gardeners amongst you probably know the answer to this but to me it's always a puzzle. Why do some leaves on the same tree last longer than others as the winter sets in? These leaves are on the Cherry tree in my garden, how come they are still full of colour while the others have fallen ?

FRUITION..

From blossom to fruition, my cherries finally came through although smaller in size than last year. Not that I am too worried about the size because I never get to them. Our local pigeon population 'mug' me for them every year, I just don't know how they do it. They have a built in sense, they know exactly to the day when the cherries are ripe, so by the time you see this picture the cherries in it will have probably been devoured !

PROGRESSION ...

I posted a photograph of this cherry tree in blossom, now we are at the half way stage between blossom and fully developed cherries.  Hope to bring you the final result.
