The gorgeous coral-red buds swelling on red huckleberry bushes herald the coming of gardening season
As days rapidly lengthen and light levels elevate, I find myself looking forward to one of the sure and spirit-lifting signs of spring in the garden — the gorgeous coral-red buds swelling on the red huckleberry bushes that grow in several areas of the back garden.
The buds unfurl to create a second act of their seasonal show — a mass of new leaves in coral pink. Then, late in the summer, comes Act 3 featuring small, round, bright coral berries that are wonderful snacks, rich in vitamin C. The berries offer a feast also for birds. Later on that same day, a young friend and garden helper visited with a Christmas card and news of her engagement. As I greeted her at the top of the driveway, beside the strawberry tree, there was the hummingbird, still darting on whirring wings through the tree.
Requiem for a tree. I’ve never had a tree die on me before, but it looks as though my cherished prune plum tree is on its slow way out. Several main limbs, clearly dead, have been removed.
