Trees are Blooming in Kamloops

Spring has definitely arrived in Kamloops. The ornamental crab-apple tree on our front boulevard is in full bloom. Actually the tree belongs to the City and was put in years ago…. probably 55+ years ago when the neighbors would get together and canvass the City to plant trees on each property owners boulevard. At one time the City would send over an arborist to prune them each spring, but we haven’t seen anyone for years. The trees are getting nearer to the end of their life cycle and are slowly dying off. We are now down to about twenty or so remaining on the street; from what would have been 40+ trees. The blooms last for about a week and it’s at this time that the trees and the street are at their colorful best. The remainder of the year they provide good shade.
