Y llynedd cynhyrfodd ein hen goeden afal cnawd mawr o afalau. Efallai mai hwn oedd ei gnwd olaf - eleni mae'n edrych yn farw - dim blaguryn, dim blodau - tra bod y coed ffrwythau eraill yn llawn blodau. Dwedodd ein ffrind Samten gall fod clefyd gyda fe a bod angen ei dorri i lawr - trueni ar ôl yr holl flynyddoedd hyn - ond dyna fywyd, a marw.

Roedd e un o fy hoff goed yn yr ardd. Hoffais ei siâp yn fawr iawn a'r ffordd yr oedd yn ymddangos fel pe bai'n taflu cangen amddiffynnol ar draws y planhigion isod. Bydd e'n ddiddorol i weld beth sy'n tyfu yma ar ôl mae'r goeden wedi mynd.

Last year our old apple tree produced a large crop of apples. This may have been its last crop - this year it looks dead - no bud, no flowers - while the other fruit trees are full of flowers. Our friend Samten said it may be diseased and that it needs to be cut down - a pity after all these years - but that's life, and death.

It was one of my favourite trees in the garden. I really liked its shape and the way it seemed to throw a protective branch across the plants below. It will be interesting to see what grows here after the tree is gone.
