Giving Trees (a Shel Silverstein tribute)

There are many Giving Trees in the city...

Here are a few of them:

Strawberry tree berries. Everywhere is SF. They are very pretty with their lily of the valley kind flowers... Arbousier in French.


Grapefruit tree. In French, grappe means cluster... That makes so much sense when you know it. I have seen 2 of these trees so far. Pamplemoussier.


Loquat trees. My favorites. Néflier.


Lemon tree. This one is a Meyer. It belongs to my friend who sometimes gives me some lemons.
Thank you my friend. Citronnier.

One last thing, if you have never read Shel Silverstein, open one of his book. You'll be amazed!
