...on the ridge along the storm drain easement:
a 15' tall American red mulberry with lots of berries;
a 6' x 8' serviceberry with berries;
(not new) two nicely sized viburnums with lots of blooms and thus berries in the fall.
Ideally, these will compensate for the scant crop of crab-apples. There were only a couple of branches on the tree that had flowers this spring.
In other garden news, the sand cherry by the side door and the Kwanzaan cherry in the front yard are looking rather the worse for the extended cold weather, and the holly by the house is getting really sprawly and unhappy looking. We may have to rip them all out in the next few years. Although that won't be as bad as moving the huge rosebush by the deck-- it's getting cramped where it is, and deserves to be out in the middle of a wide space so it can be better appreciated.
