But now I'm going to say something that might just be considered heretical - I really hate the avenues of cherry trees. They're dismal little trees that are quite out of proportion to the lovely big chestnuts and beeches and others around the rest of the Stray, they're looking distinctly unwell, and they produce hideous pink blossoms in the spring. So there you go.
Yes, Toni, the leaves have been quite spectacular down south too. We have had no great winds to tear them off and blow them into leaf-drifts. But ah! pity the cherry blossom! You obviously have no Japan in your blood ;-)
ReplyDeleteDave, I accept your last point ... ;) But the lurid pink blossoms in Spring are hideous, and the trees are really, really unhappy - planted in the wrong place and with no sympathy for the way cherry trees should be planted.
