Our ornamental apple was one of the two trees original to the site. I had it tied and protected in order to save it during the renovation of the house. We love it, not because of the few exquisitely fragrant days that we cherish in spring, but for the months of pleasure that the Regal Black birds get from its bright red fruit in winter. In summer, it provides a cool microenvironment on the west side of the house for ferns and other shade loving plants.
