With Spring around the corner, plants, trees and shrubs will soon be bursting into bloom. Now’s the time to get your pruning shears out.

The bel fruit, or wood apple, is a traditional Indian summer superfood with multiple health benefits. It cools the body, aids in digestion, strengthens bones, and is rich in antioxidants.

Growing apple trees at home is a joy ... The daisy-like flowers blooms in early- to mid-summer and will keep going all the way until the frost hits, as long as you regularly remove spent blooms.
