Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

A Sign of Spring

The first April I lived here, the tree in front of my building had been pollarded. The trim job left it with no blooms.

This April, the tree is blooming. It’s beautiful!

The view from my lanai is also gorgeous. It’s spring!

    Wow what a cool tree! Looks like something from dr. Suess. Ok Mr. Fancy word…..Pollarded? What? Is that the same as pruned, trimmed? Hhmmmm

    Holy cats! It’s like that tree has a spring hat! I’m glad it’s so close to your lanai!

    I am glad Debbie asked the question, because that was a new word for me, too. You are too smart regarding all that plant stuff.

    Pollarding is when all of a tree’s branches are chopped off. There’s a picture of this tree right after the procedure in this post:

    It looks like you have huge marigolds in that tree.
