A good idea to just watch the land during the first seasons as there may be something dormant that you will know nothing about until the time is right. You'll wake up one day and see a gorgeous flower come to life and it's such a great feeling!

@@theexPAWers And Persimmons are one of them. You need the pollen from a male tree to have the female bear fruit. Many fruit trees need more than one variety of tree for cross pollination, or they won't bear (good, edible) fruit. Apples & Pears, for sure need cross pollination... at least 2 different *varieties* of the fruit. You'll have a bit of research to do guys.

I like the birds house, nice! "An olive tree can be several thousand years old. The oldest known tree still alive, Oliveira do Mouchão, is dated to 3350 years old and stands in Mouriscas, in central Portugal. At Brijuni in Croatia, there is a tree with a carbon age of 1,600 years that still produces around 30 kilos of olives per year."

If you are thinking of buying fruit trees for the land and want them to fruit, check if they can self-pollinate. Many fruit trees need another tree of a different variety somewhere nearby before they can bear fruit.

My parents loved plants and were constantly stopping on the side of the road, no matter where we were to pick a sampling. You should definitely plant a tree when you go back to represent your new beginning. You’ll always be able to see, ‘that tree is from our first proper trip, from the beginning’, and give the tree a name. I love giving trees names. 🌟♥️🐾

Our van is Maggies van an after my mum it was bought with some of the money she left me when she died RIP mum♥️. Love the bird boxes they do all look fine to me you have the holes and everything right as far as I can see they look like the ones we have in the garden I'm always taking photos of plants I find the circle and search thingy really good it's never been wrong when I've used it. Finally the fur babies I just love how much care and thought you have for them, my whole family is like that with animals, they are made to be cherished and they are so much better than kids 😊. Have a great weekend guys enjoy the football, see you next week.
