Spring - Wisteria and Cherry Blossom - a view from the back gate

Cherry Blossom (no fruit) and Orchard Fruit Trees

We planted an “orchard” next to Il Pergolato Di Rosa – it has been slow growing in size but every year there are cherries, pears, apples, blueberries and plums – and some great blossoms. There is a Cherry Tree which blossoms for much longer than the others – it is a triple blossom of pink and white. Next is the olive trees which are full of green olives each year – as with every other fruit tree at Uccello Lane everything is eaten by the birds – which is fine by us!.

The queen of the fruit trees is the amazing Cherry Blossom near “The Bank” – it just takes your breath away – with amazing bark and twisted trunk. It comes out at the same time as the Wisteria so together they provide an amazing fragrance and the bees love it!
