After a year tending to our garden and trying to understand what plants we actually have I saw an evening session about Trees and shrubs at the Arboretum.
Now the first thing you might think is "has Phil finally lost it or turned 60" as evening tree IDing isnt perhaps that exciting. But I am a home owner now (Yes, I have accepted it just dont mention the mortgage....) and I'm deciding to embrace my local Guelphitism now we've been here a year or so.
Anyway, off I popped with clippings to see what we have and find out we have a version of a crab apple and a type of tree called a "serviceberry". This one especially interesting as its a native North American tree, hence I've never heard of it. And we can eat the berries. So seems my "dont eat any berries Logan as they are for the birds" was a bit misplaced.
So next spring if you come to the Duffy house expect some servicberry muffins... if I can convince Janice to make some.
