I was around at a friend's for Good Friday Cherry Blossom viewing (more of that to come) where I had, some years ago, abandoned an unsuccessful grafting experiment. The scions have become dwarf apple trees in their own right now, but they will slump across the path. I was reshaping one and pinning it back when a huge soft, blossom-laden branch came off in my hand.
Apple blossom makes for an amazing cut flower - buds open, softly, in the vase, delicately scented and perfectly flushed with softest pink. But who has the heart to cut a tree in flower?
Still, if it happens by accident...
