Poor trees

 This tree was splendid in May.

May 2020
After the confinement.

However, it was a very unpleasant shock to see the destruction of so many trees after the snow.


The same tree January  2021

On the other side

Pine trees seem to be the most vulnerable to the heavy snow we had in Madrid recently and yet we always associate pine trees with Christmas time. Maybe it is because this one is el pino canario, and as its  name indicates, more suited to warmer climates. Certainly they were very badly damaged by the snow. Time will tell if they can heal and return to their former glory.
