Our Tree in Autumn
Chickasaw Plum Tree
We
don’t have a lot of trees in Florida that lose their leaves, but the
Chickasaw Plum Tree is one that does lose its leaves. The leaves are
green and oval. The leaves don’t change colors in the fall. The birds
like to sit on the branches and rest.
This
is our class on one of the days that we took our observations and pictures.
We were wearing stylish uniforms. We were wearing skirts, shorts, pants,
and short sleeve shirts. Three days later a hurricane blew through our
state.
Our Chickasaw Plum Tree has lost all but four leaves. We can’t decide if these are the last leaves hanging on for dear life or if they are new leaves that have begun to sprout. Although our tree is bare you can spot a bird in the branches of the tree. It appears that the pigeon needed a place to rest his weary wings.
This is our class on a very cold day. The temperature was about 60 degrees. We had on light sweaters, jackets, and long pants.

Our Tree in Spring
Our Chickasaw Plum Tree has its leaves back after a short winter break. The limbs are growing and it needs to be trimmed back. We have many days of hard work ahead of us to get our tree and garden into tip top shape. The weather is nice and we are beginning to get spring fever so we might just have classes outside for awhile until it gets too hot.
We are enjoying the small amount of shade that our Chickasaw Plum tree is providing for us.
