Good morning my dear friends…
...Mr Monday is here...


Today I have the privilege to post here your daily question for the Lounge…
I want to mention that all questions here are just for the unique porpoise of fun and of course, to stay in touch with all members, and to know what do you think about it…
of course sometimes some questions are a kind of silly but funniest in the bottom!..
… so lets begins…

--Do you have any frutal tree at home? What kind of it do you have? Do you have a pic about it?

ooh yes! We have three different kinds of crab-apple trees in our yard. Also, we have a line of chokecherry trees, and a cherry tree.

Not sure if it counts, but we also have lots of raspberry and saskatoon berry bushes too...yum!

I just moved into a new apartment, and I have NO trees! Yuck! When I was younger, my grandmother had an apple tree in her backyard. They were crabapples, though; we never ate anything from them. Mostly, my cousins and I just pegged each other with them

yeah I live in an apartment building and we have a lilac tree but alas no fruit trees (not that there would be any fruit left on them with some of the people here
) but my parents have an apple tree which is lovely!!


Alas though I don't have a picture of it but right before it starts to grow apples it has these tiny white flower buds that bloom on it!

Ooooohhhh, a lilac tree! What I wouldn't give for a lilac bush or tree.

No fruit trees here, but I do have a lovely silver dollar tree that I adore.

We have a quince, but have never used any of the fruit -- it's sparce and rather pitiful. There's an ancient apple tree in our neighbour's yard that overhangs our parking area and has mostly forgotten how to produce fruit. They look nice though. And Rigel -- I COVETCOVETCOVET your mango tree.

There`s a grapevine but they don`t get picked coz they taste nasty. You can just see it on the left there.

I just noticed it looks like it`s growing out of the steps but it`s in the bed at the top of the steps. This was taken last summer before it was savaged by the next door neighbours

I am so jealous! It sounds and looks like some of you live in Eden!
How nice that must be!

In my sad excuse for a yard, we don't have a tree, just this bush (the one in the back corner), which I have no idea what it is:



Any ideas?
It's cut WAY back now, I couldn't stand it so over grown, and it's quite happy at the moment.

Though at the house before this, we had an avocado tree that prodcued ROCKS, and what was supposed to be an orange tree that produced bowling ball sized white - yellow fruit that was too tough and bitter to eat... That must be Eden after the fall.

I also have a nectarine tree which is in the lowest part of our property so I usually don't get down there to pick anything before the birds get them. Seriously, our lot is on a hill and it is down below the pool which is below the house.

I have a grape vine, too, and the grapes are really good. We have a beautiful old black oak tree! It is against the law to cut it down, not that I would.

No fruit bearing trees on our property. We have magnolias, cedars, and will be planting two palmetto trees in front of our house.

When I lived in New Jersey, we had an apple tree. My parents have a pear tree in their backyard.
