MORE HIDDEN GEMS by John Joynes
In 2014 I came across this plant growing in the pavement outside a house in Corinth.
In November 2020 I went in search of the tree, having forgotten where it was, second photo
In December the tree/bush was bare
In February 2021 someone, presumably the workers of the town council department in change of the trees in the pavement, had passed by and pruned it radically.
I am happy to tell you that a few days ago tiny leaves were appearing on the tree
Yesterday April 1st I took the photo of the fresh new leaves
