Love your tree... and the garden looks so peaceful. Spring has sprung here in Western Australia...some beautiful sunny days but really cold dry nights and mornings. As Litacats mentioned hardly any rain this winter, so I am mulching as much as I can so the plants will have half a chance of survival this summer. I think we are in for a long, dry time and with water restrictions getting more stringent I am planting more waterwise natives.

Hi Aussie - Nice to have the sun out for a bit. Drought or no drought I've seen enough rain to last for a while.
Enjoy your spring blossoms - mine are a bit slower coming out but it won't be long.
