Phot.Altes.Land.Cherry.Tree.01.071315.7068.jpg
Germany, “Altes Land”, Mittelwerder, an old cherry tree & a half-timbered farm house at the region sited downstream of the river Elbe from Hamburg.
Large cherry trees like this you hardly find any more, harvesting cherries from over 10mtr tall trees is simply economically not manageable, today the trees have a height of about 3 mtr with trimmed brunches.
The Alte Land, the south-western side of the river Elbe is an area of 143 square km reclaimed marshland, spanning parts of Hamburg & Lower Saxony. “Altes Land”, which means "old country", however, it is a mistranslation of the original Low Saxon “Olland”, which originally had nothing to do with "old"; it stems from Holland & refers to the area's original colonization by Dutch settlers in the 12th Century which drained the land & cultivated it.
