There's a bunch of trees that are blooming right now. Their colors are many different colors - from pink to white. Does anyone know what kind of trees these are?
Also, does anyone know how there are a number of pine trees around Albuquerque? In Rio Rancho, there's a bunch of pine trees in my neighborhood, but I'm not sure if they're native or planted.
They're called 'allergee' trees, with many different blooms and pollen colors, creating lovely colors of mucus in humans. This spectacular phenomena will be over by the end of April.
Crabapples are blooming right now but there are not many of them. The ones you are seeing are for the most part fruitless purple-leaf plum. That is the most common flowering garden tree in Albuquerque. Rowland's, when they were around, used to sell thousands of those guys a year. They have nice flowers, don't set fruit and have deep-purple leaves (which I don't like much).
is a shame because we always run the risk of a late freeze here. I hope they make it!
It's actually not that much a "shame"...true, ABQ once in a great while can get a late freeze, but actually, statistically, it is pretty darn rare (for a significant freeze that actually causes a significant harm to fruit on the trees), and frankly, is no different than an Atlanta (home of the infamous "Atlanta Peach") or Nashville, Birmingham, etc. - all decent spots of semi-hardy fruit trees.
ABQ - except for the far Valleys as well as the Foothills - is a solid gardening zone 7 to 7b - very solid for fruit tree (outside of citrus) fruit production.
Hmmmmm my non-fruit bearning pear does not bloom until April/May. I suppose it's a varietal thing.
