A Good News story .......
The mulberry is in bud.
I rang Paul, the Tree Man, to tell him and he recalled the tree (well you don't get to move a mulberry ever day) and he was as pleased as I am.
He's coming round to have a look at it. (Not sure why, it hasn't changed much but maybe he wants a for his "Successes" album.
So. Paul turned up and was very pleased with the mulberry. Not a moment too soon because I have recently discovered to my horror that the 2-varieties cherry has sent out a sucker directly beneath the pond which is now holed .
So. The cherry has to be humanely destroyed I'm afraid and the pond rebuilt. I asked Paul to wait until August so that the birds can have one last cherry party and if he brings a basket he can have the remainder of the fruit.
So. Now I have to decide what to put in the place of the cherry .
