I swear THIS year the blackbirds won't eat the fruit!!!

Cool!
Looks there will be a lot of fruit too Treeman!
.....I find they don't eat my berries until pretty late in the piece anyway?

That is awesome.

What variety is it?

Look forward to seeing the pictures but you'll need a good guard or a well sealed exclusion net to keep the buggers off

That little raft is lively now and will be fantastic in a few years.

Thanks for posting.

Beat the little black winged pests this year.

That's a very nice tree mike and i think that style suits it well .

It is indeed a nice tree, now if you can apply that skill to your photographs

This is looking the goods Mike.

Loving your work mate.

Hi mike
That is a beautiful little tree , is it the micro leaf one? It must be quite old , they are such slow growers
Cheers Peterb

Thanks Peter. I think it's thymifolia. Cotoneaster are pretty hard to distinguish. There is one with a smaller leaf -microphylla - but slow is right! There's also a problem with their twigs becoming overly thick too. They all seem to do that. I think once I can get to the stage of pruning out congested areas so you can see some branching detail it will look much better.

Very nice!

It is great to get a little time to appreciate the fruits of your labours.
I decided to make sure the fruit lasts a bit longer this year so I put in a bird cage or should that be an anti bird cage

Still plenty of berries for display this Saturday at Wodonga Show.
