A Tamarix tree and an Olive tree
Next to the sea, here in Corinth, there is a pedestrian area lined on both sides with coffee shops, tavernas and eateries. The Tamarix trees were planted several years ago, suffer rigorous pruning sometime in the winter and become these lovely shaped trees in the summer. This year there has been a group of Gardeners pruning the offshoots of the trees and cutting the grass wherever it is.
The poor Olive tree in a pot was installed by one of the coffee shops which closes for the winter and the poor tree left to its own devices which means only getting any water if and when it rains
The first photo was taken in 2019, the tree in the pot had already been there for a couple of years
The next two photos were taken on the 5th October and 25th October 2023.
The Tamarix trees, near the coffee shops, were pruned as they were shedding their tiny seeds and covering the tables, a photo opportunity I lost.
