This tree did not bear any fruit for years. I thought it had stopped bearing. But loved it for its beauty nevertheless.

 It had the most beautiful vine growing on it which quite covered its branches. A wonderful sight.

Then one day I strippped off the vine. A cruel and heartless gesture it seemed at that moment.

Free of the vine that sucked at its life the tree bore fruit again. More abundant than I had ever seen it before...

A new lease of life....
