Palmer wanted me to see his three new trees during my visit. He said folks hit their brakes as they drove by to get a better look. I spotted them as we pulled in to the drive.

Jeepers, creepers where’d he get those Weepers? They are weeping peach trees, ‘Crimson Cascade.’ The foliage will be deep maroon. Mature size is said to be 12 feet tall and eight feet wide. Hardiness Zones 5-9.

He got these at different places. He noticed the slight color differences. I had trouble differentiating the three because  my camera, my computer and my phone all morphed the pinks.

I have a habit of doing a full shot with identifiable location and then a close-up or two. This habit has helped me keep track of plants. During this visit I took 224 photos, so any little hint helps.

I also focus on similar groups at once to keep them together for comparison. I have blogged for almost eleven years so I have developed some skills. I do not count on my memory.

Here are Palmer’s the three weeping peach trees. Their form is slightly contorted which gives them interest. The blooms cluster near the twigs.

Palmer said they were covered with little peaches last summer.  I hope I get to see that. Squirrels got them, so I better get a fruit alert.

If I were not friends of Lucy and Palmer already, I would have left a note in their mailbox asking for the names of these weepers. WOW!

He should have his own blog. He has created an amazing botanical garden. My good friend Lucy is his wife. Their dog zealously guards the garden.
