While we usually concentrate on the latest blooms, this week’s What’s Blooming also highlights all the plants that have fruit appearing now that the weather is warming up. The Garden’s many critters will enjoy these snacks in the coming months, but we ask that you please leave them on the trees and avoid picking any of the fruit. And of course, we still take a look at some of the most dramatic blooms throughout the Garden right now. So take a listen below!
