Fruit Trees

From May 19 to June 12 this year, my Dad visited us in Victoria. One of his objectives of his stay was to plant some fruit trees for the kids and generations after who would stay in this house. I just took all the tags off from the trees as they are getting bigger. In order to not lose the names of these fruit trees, I’m recording them here so that I can keep referring back to them.
