Across the road from me lies a little park with a small playground. In it lays a small "Prunus" tree (that fruits small dark Plums in summer)*, that the local council cropped heavily at the start of this winter (2022). The park has a series of about 10 different trees of this type of varying ages and sizes, too. This particular one is just the one that's closest to me. 🌳
*I think it's one of these types of small flowering/fruiting trees, but I'm not exactly sure. I'm no horticulturalist! I'm an average joe who thinks it looks good, basically [laffs]

I will try to take a weekly photo of its progress this Spring/Summer/Autumn of 2022/23.
Here is how big these trees can become after a good life; this is the same type of tree in the same park across the road, with a swingset to give you an idea of scale. "My" tree is a mere sapling in comparison (Taken 24 November 2022)
