A beautiful tree

This tree fascinates me every year. It was not quite fully in blossom when I took these pics, but it is a glorious riot of both pink & white blossom.
I don't know how it came about exactly, but take a look at the trunk and it is like one tree growing inside another, hence the two different blossoms.

Re: A beautiful tree

Here it is again with the 2 different blossoms opening. Hope you can see it's half pink and half white.

Re: A beautiful tree

It's lovely & looks like two trees planted so close together they fused into one.

Re: A beautiful tree

I'll try to get back there in a day or two when it should be fully in blossom, it really is a joy to see.

That is the explanation, we used to have some here, but they were cut down a couple of years ago.

No doubt you will have it culled soon tree slaughterer that you are. Get swampy up it quick before she strikes.
