Back in the early eighty's my younger brother asked that I design the landscape for his new home in the west hills of Portland. It is a very large home built on a hill top, so there were a few obstacles but I got the job done. After the landscape was installed it turned out beautiful if I don't say so myself. As a thank you for a job well done he purchased this Mt. Fuji Cherry for me. I have maintained the canopy fairly short and in a sort of an umbrella shape. I just love the big pendulous double flowers of this specimen and if I happen to be working out front someone always stops and comments on how nice the tree is.
This blog is hopefully going to prompt me to keep better records of the goings on in my garden and home.
