@pyrrhula

Only a hobgoblin or a gnome could stand beneath it, Ferry as it is only growing about 3 feet off the ground!

[Peter]

Lovely capture Hazel its always a good sign when there are so many berries, bound to possess lots of mystical powers bring good luck to the household and ward off evil spirits.:)

@ellida

Graham, it struck me afterwards that it's a bit like a waterfall!

[Pat Knowles]

So seasonal but pretty & those berries are so delicate & completely different than any other berry.

[Pyrrhula]

@quietpurplehaze Our tradition is to take them and have them hanging upstairs you door.
All pollards are that way.

[Shutterbug]

I have never seen it on a fruit tree. We get it occasionally on the native oak trees.

[Hazel]

@pyrrhula

Yes, it's our tradition too but have not found any to buy this year.

[Margaret Brown]
