Have you been patient? Have you refrained from cutting down trees and bushes that are merely dormant instead of dead?

Fast forward to July.
Lush leaves. Are they large enough to sew a few together for a bikini? I’d select a different tree: one on your own property would be best for that experiment.
Growing fruit. Staring into the branches will conjure up visions of sweet tarts and treats. A little more time to ripen. The reward is within sight.
