Made it to the farm today and was pleasantly surprised to find many of my Chinese chestnuts had catkins! Might get a few chestnuts this year. Apples and pears are loaded. My carmine jewel cherries have already been stripped by the birds. After staring at little growth for a few years, I love watching the progress on the trees this year. Pictured also, Illinois everbearing mulberry, newly planted elderberry with some raspberries. pawpaw.
