My Orchard 2013
Overall, my 2013 orchard is quite satisfactory. I can see more flowers from a cherry tree that I planted about 6-7 years ago, and I can harvest some cherry fruit. Two plum trees bear plums so much that became a burden for consumption. Asian pears are also promising of good harvest. Peaches in yellow peach tree bend branches and are becoming reddish, I can enjoy them in a few days. Apricot tree bloomed well, but only a few of apricots survived in the tree. I only have about 20 to taste. Two apple trees are very disappointing, not only the bloomed very little, but also left none for me to eat.
