A pear tree
There's an old pear tree in a forgotten corner of the garden. It didn't do much in the first few years we were here, but I pulled away the brambles and clematis that were smothering it, and gave it a bit of light. It produced a few pears last year, and this blossom is covering it this Spring. Even the bark is attractive in its strange way.

It looks like a delightful secret place in the garden.
A perfect place for a 'rest a while' bench ;-)
Hmm good idea, though I'll have to wait until the "Move the compost heap" project is finished :)
You do need somewhere for the partridges.
Interesting you should mention that. I am told that the song originally was "A partridge and a perdrix", a perdrix being French for partridge, and pronounced like pear dree.
