Wildflower series ~ Mountain Medlar
Such fuzzy little flowers and do note the cellphone-bokeh
Another wild fruit tree that is closely related to Wild Medlar, Vangueria infausta, Mountain Medlar or Vangueria parvifolia grows together with its cousin on the hill. There is a small stand of them growing with their roots embedded in a large sheet of rocks, which protects them from fire.
The bees really love this tree, it was buzzing with bees the day I took these pictures and although the flowers are small and green, they have a strong, pleasing fragrance. The fruits are smaller and less tasty than those of their cousins the Wild Medlar trees and I tend to pass on them when I have other options.
It's amazing how trees grow in such difficult conditions. All around the stones. Just unbelieveble.
They are amazingly well adapted to these harsh conditions
They are small and the leaves look hairy
They are hairy
Having our first snow fall here. Leaves haven't all fallen from the trees yet. Makes me feel warmer looking at your hill. :-)
It is good to be able to look at summery scenes when it is miserable out. Stay warm!
In my little forest I have a medlar tree.
A couple of years ago it blooms and bears fruit, but I think it has a fungus that hurts them.
The medlar is a delicious fruit.
