Day 257

When we first started cutting the burnt trees, we noticed one or two with a little green in them, so we stopped cutting immediately, and only brought down the very damaged ones.
Eight months on and more trees which looked completely dead are now putting out new green shoots. A few stone pines are showing life, as is the Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) and a Fig tree which our neighbour Tose gave us.  The Catalpa bungee (dwarf bean tree) has grown back completely and others such as the Liriodendron (tulip tree) and Magnolias are shooting from the base. Most of the roses have also come back.
