Judas Tree

Here shown in it’s gorgeous springtime bloom, the Judas tree is often found in urban parks and gardens. The legend says that Judah hanged himself to this tree after having betrayed Jesus Christ, and the popular belief indicate this as the reason why the blossoms are of a blood-like colour. Also known as Redbud.

The Golden Chain needs sunny places, and although it likes calcareous soils better, it can also grow on acidic soils. The wood is very much valued and is used for handicraft works. The Golden Chain can be found in cities because of the gorgeous blooming, but it is not planted often since it is poisonous in all of it’s parts, including the flowers.

The long-lasting, big Summer blossoms made it one of the most appreciated decorative trees all over the world (where climate allows).

The Common (Garden) Apple tree is a garden species derived from the Wild Apple (Malus sylvestris), a tree that can still be found in the wild in the forests of Central-Southern Europe. The most visible difference between the species is the absence, in the Garden Apple tree, of the small thorns that are present on the branches of the Wild Apple.

The undisputed protagonist of the Mediterranean landscape along the rivers, with it’s spectacular pink or white blooming that lasts all summer, the Oleander can also be found next to the sea, because it is salt-resistant. On the other hand, it is frost-intolerant. All of it’s parts are extremely poisonous for the heart of men and animals: even a single leaf can be lethal, if eaten.

Apricot Tree

The Apricot tree, more than the Cherry or Plum, needs a relatively warm climate to grow. It suffers from late frost, especially if it happens during the blossoming period. Like the other species in the Prunus family, the Apricot tree, too, can be attacked by many parasites and diseases.

The Sweet Cherry is a tree that adapts well to most soils. It can stand well the cold and frost, and because of this, it can also grow on the mountains. It is a very appreciated tree not only because of the delicious fruits, but also because of the excellent quality of the wood, highly prized for furniture and musical instruments.

The Pissardii Cherry Plum (also known as Pissardii Myrobalan) has purplecoloured leaves. It is commonly found in cities because of the decora-tive colour and because it stands pruning very well (and for this reason it is even used for hedges). This variety has pink blossom (while the original Cherry Plum has white). It adapts to most soils.

Sour Cherry

Also know as Wild Cherry or Mazzard, the Sour Cherry is diffused as wild species over Central and Southern Europe, but it is probably of garden origin. Compared to it’s most likely parent (the Sweet Cherry), it has sour fruits of a lighter and brighter red. Because of the sour taste, it’s fruits are more commonly used to produce syrups and liquors than eaten.

Plum Tree

The Plum Tree is almost certainly a hybrid of Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera) and Sloe (Prunus spinosa). It was created to produce the delicious fruits we know, and for this reason, it is widely cultivated both industrially and rurally, and also in home gardens. Two subspecies of Plum Tree are common, one with violet fruits, another with dark yellow fruits.

The Almond Tree is the earliest of all Pruni to bloom. It does in February-March, but if the winter is warm, it can also exceptionally bloom in January. It grows only in sunny places and in warm regions, where it can be safe from freezing cold. The fruits are widely appreciated in the kitchen, especially for sweets.

Imported in the Mediterranean region from Persia (hence the Latin name) way back in the 4th century B.C., the Peach is really of Chinese origin. It is widely cultivated because of the delicious fruits, but it’s delicate pink flowers are also appreciated for decoration. The small size makes it perfect for home gardens decoration.

Kanzan Cherry

It is probable that the Kanzan cherry is a garden hybrid of two popular Japanese wild cherries, Hill Cherry and Oshima Cherry. Kanzan is surely the most appreciated species for urban decoration, thanks to the spectacular blooming. Several culti-vars of it exist, with varied blossoms.

The Yoshino Cherry has probably an ancient garden origin. The white blossoms (but subspecies exist with different colours) have an intense scent and appear at early Spring. The fruits are very sour and usually not eaten: the Yoshino Cherry is in fact mostly used for garden decoration.

The common Pear tree is a garden variety of the Wild Pear, an European and Asian tree that is diffused in the native areas where broadleaf woods grow on humid, fertile soil. The pronounced vertical growth (when growing free) makes it easily recognizable. The white flowers have a slightly Bigger diameter than most other Rosaceae.
