It has been a wild winter & spring is just around the corner. Posted here are a few things that have started to bloom prior to anything being ready for sale on the farm.
First up has been the Yellow Dogwood (Cornus mas) that came from a grower in North Carolina many years ago. It does quite well here in Eastern Oklahoma.
This beautiful small tree blooms in February and continues to bloom for well over a month. The bark is interesting. It peels as it grows and is really quite pretty.
It does produce very small red “cherries” that you may eat & we have had Cardinals nest in this tree as well as hummingbirds.
