Fruit Trees

Blossoms don’t guarantee fruit but the trees blooming this year were so pretty. These pictures were taken a month or so ago and there are only a few blossoms remaining. There are some late blooms on some of the peach trees and the persimmons are just about to bloom.

The pear tree blossoms are so pretty but it looks like we’ll get no pears again this year. I am just not sure what’s up with those pear trees.

The crabapple blooms are so pretty – light and dark pink! These are some weird tiny little crabapples that I don’t like messing with but there are a good many on the tree. We only have one crabapple tree.

More pink blossoms! The peach trees are full of little peaches and some big peaches.

I know to never count my peaches before they’re ripe but if they all mature and get ripe, we’re going to have a ton of peaches this year.

No blossoms but look at those figs! We’ll have ripe figs in no time at all. 

The cherries had a few blooms, the pomegranates bloom late but I can’t remember how late, the apricots didn’t bloom again this year and the persimmons have blooms that haven’t opened up yet. The apples and plums are done with blooming and I can see a bit of fruit starting to form. The jujube will be the last to bloom. They’re always so late that I think they’re not going to bloom and then they surprise me.

I wish the blooms lasted longer but that’s how it is with fruit trees. Their purpose is to make fruit . . not long lasting blooms I suppose.
