A couple of months ago we had a large cut leaf maple removed the back garden. It was a tall tree with wide dense canopy that dominated that corner of the garden and the neighbour's too!
The trees next to it now have access to sunlight and water. We have access for weeding and pruning. This morning I discovered one of the trees is now in flower. It might have flowered every year but now they are easily seen with access up close.
At first look they seem limp and bedraggled. They are pale pink, bell shaped with a stiff waxy texture. Each blossom is less than 1 cm long. Such a lovely find. The planting tag says the fruit will be round blue berries.
The tree is a blueberry ash (Elaeocarpus Reticulatus - pink flowered).
