I remember at the back of the Grampians, near Dunkeld, the local hunters observe that the large number so feral deer there love to eat the low foliage. SO if you see a Cherry Ballart tree neatly trimmed up from the base, you know for sure there are feral deer about.<BR/>Excellent photo of the fruit with tiny flower. I recently photographed a similar tiny flower, of the plant known as "Wild currant". I will write it up one of these days. My flower was red, but the structure is diagnostic of that large family.<BR/>Cheers<BR/>DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.com
