The apple trees are finally blossoming and starting to blossom. I have 3, the 4th didn't make it and was removed 2 years ago. When we first build the house they would all bloom at the same time but over the years they started to bloom one at a time. It's still pretty but it was so nice when they all bloomed together. The ornamental pear is on the right.
And here's a friend I found on the ornamental pear tree.

They're lovely trees! When they bloom at different times, at least you'll get to enjoy apple blossoms longer. Our two are also blooming at different times, and the earliest bloomer's fruit is ripe fairly early.

I love to see blossom on fruit trees. I have pear, apple and cherry trees in full bloom at the moment so I'm hoping for good crops from them this year.
