WINTER TREES 6 : CHERRY

On all but the youngest cherry trees the horizontal lines on the trunk distinguish the numerous cherry species.  They are joined up rows of breathing holes known as lenticels.


Another feature of cherry trees in winter are the multiple buds on the twigs, where the flowers will later appear.  They are in there, waiting for the right time to burst open.
