➽ "The Giving Tree 2022-23" (ie. last season)
(for all the whats wheres and whys etc etc)
I love its deep maroon-coloured leaves. It hasn't fruited at all, perhaps as it is still too young?
I water it most days (twice or more at a time), hobbling across with my walking stick and trusty 9-litre/2.3 gal blue plastic watering can!
"I'm the crazy old man who talks to the tree!" 🤣
