Our arboretum
What we term as "our arboretum." The area covers part of a
horse holding paddock and shields the view from the road of
our horse shelters. All of this sample of trees are native
but not necessarily indigenous to our area. Left side of
picture is a Tasmanian Blue Gum E. globulus - a huge forest giant.
Our trees in this patch are a little over 20 years of age.
Photo taken from roadway, some self-sown street trees are in
the foreground.

Golden Elm - last autumn leaves
Ulmus
A wonderful shady spot for me to take a break under
when attending to the 500 roses that the elm abuts.
