| Blossoming Paradise Apple |
Some of the fun stuff of having a large garden, are the surprises that sometimes occurs. This Paradise Apple is self-sown, and not from the Paradise Apple already in the garden, when we bought the house. It has smaller, different apples and is not yet in bloom. So this is kind of a bonus tree - thanks to the birds 💗🐦 , and it has it's finest color right now. There are numerous sorts and colors, but all of the malus family. I use the apples for jelly and schnapps:

The snowball tree is close to bloom, but I almost think the flowers are at their most beautiful right now with the delicate light green color. It is also beautiful when it is all covered in white flowers . Our snowball tree has a tendency to get attacked by caterpillars 🐛, who eat really many leaves, and then it is not so pretty. We don't use pesticides, but in spite of that it blossoms year after year
