I believe this is a type of #Hawthorn.

It’s fruit looks delightful.

Bright and vibrant, the fruit even shines in the late afternoon sunlight . It must attract the birds big time.

I think It was this same kind of larger fruiting tree, that was being stripped a few weeks back at sunset, in a leafy #melbourne suburb (near #Kew), by at least 150+ #longbilledcorella.

It was like a scene out of that movie β€˜The Birds’… a real mess of leaves, fruit and branches strewn over the road and footpath.

They were screeching and chortling, a real dynamic and noisy scene to behold.

Never quite observed anything like that in suburbia.

This gorgeous Washington Hawthorn (I believe it is) was snapped in #Bentleigh #Australia.

@NessaUndreza Lovely, but I wonder if it might be a Crabapple...
@ghost_shit Nyeah. Funny that. I thought same just after posting. The id app didn’t mention it once amongst the many options (most were Hawthorn πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ). Happy to be corrected tho, as always!
@ghost_shit πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ there are soooo many different types and species of flora. It’s truly difficult to keep up hey?!!

@NessaUndreza It really is. Keep up the great work!

Which reminds me: I need to look up treatment options for leaf curl in my citruses...
