It's quite lovely right now where I live with autumn turning the leaves of the trees and shrubs all sorts of shades of red, orange and gold. The small Prunus avium Stella (Gisela 5) which is growing in a large pot sunk into my garden border is looking rather bare after high winds the other day. Even so, it's rather lovely with its mostly naked stems with large leaves hanging here and there. I took a few photos of the leaves today and couldn't resist editing them a little on the computer.

This little tree gives so much pleasure in the garden. It has lovely
white flowers in spring,
sweet red cherries in summer, and now lovely golden leaves in autumn. What more could I ask of it?

pruning cherry trees. The notes are useful for me, so that I can try and remember to prune my small tree early next spring.
