A Tree Of Two Halves

[poliphilo]

There's a cherry tree in a garden on my in-laws' street which has a top half that lags several weeks behind its bottom half. When the lower branches were blossoming the upper branches were bare- and I assumed it was dying. Now the bottom branches are in leaf and the upper branches are blossoming. I've never seen anything like it before.

It sounds like a piece of iconography.

A heraldic device perhaps...
