Autumn Berries

I had a lovely walk through the Homestead Park with Ian. The Park is owned by the Joseph Rowntree Trust and is beautifully maintained by a small team of gardeners. There is always something new to see, whether it is a plant changing or new ones being planted. These berries on a tree caught my attention. I don’t think I have ever seen any this big before, each about the size of a cherry tomato. I’m not sure what they are as a look on Google showed several plants with similar berries but gave no indication of their size.

Such wonderful autumn color, Katharine! The leaves almost look like apples. I saw something similar at the Oregon Garden. It will be fun to see if someone can identify them.

Lovely pic. Katharine. They look like the fruit of the Malus, or crab apple to you and me .

[Graham Thresher]

A really sharp capture.

[Hillary Torrey]

@cathieg Thanks Cathie. The leaves reminded me of apples but they were too small even to be crab apples. Katharine

@jonhen Thanks Jonathan. I thought they looked too berry like to be crab apples and the clusters didn't seem typical but they could be a different variety to the ones I usually come across. Katharine

@purplehaze12 Thank you. I thought they looked more like berries than the crab apples I have come across. It was a lovely day for a walk. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@malc Thanks. I thought they looked more like berries, albeit very large ones. I must ask one of the gardeners next time I am there. Katharine
