When I moved into my house 22 years ago, I could touch the top of these palm trees. They’ve grown, I’ve shrunk.

I’m so excited. This is the first time I’ve seen my pistachio loaded with nuts. I’m sure the birds will get them all before they completely ripen, but at least I got this shot!!

And here is the same tree three weeks ago, when there were profuse blooms but no nuts that I could see.

When I had the tree-trimmers trim back my hugely overgrown pistachio tree, they cut off a huge branch and tarred it over completely to inhibit further growth.  This little sprout stubbornly flouted convention and somehow managed to push through the tar.  I have to applaud its persistence and determination!
