In the Garden Update: Pretty in pink
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ROWANS, or mountain ashes, were looking stupendous on some motorways that I drove down this week. I have planted two in the garden, one with white berries, one with pink. The pink is a new introduction, Sorbus 'Pink Pagoda', sent to this country from Victoria, British Columbia. It has the pretty fern-like leaf of the rowans, does not make too big a tree and is in berry by late summer. The pink gradually fades to white as the season goes on and the leaves colour orange and red. Unfortunately, the birds like it as much as I do.
