Okay so it is a curvy line! A line of Pride of Barbados seedpods are ready to drop their final young in a last ditch attempt to propagate themselves for next year. Like dug-out canoes, these seedpods are providing a safe harbor for these precious, year-end cradled seeds.

‘Malus x robusta’ (Red Sentinel)
Crab apple.
One of the most ornamental crab apples, with pretty, pink-tinged, white flowers in late spring, followed by masses of glossy, round, cherry-red fruit. The fruits garland the branches for much of the winter as the bright green leaves turn shades of yellow and gold before falling.
Here is the golden fruiting variety, (not my entry).
Malus x zumi (Golden Hornet)
These two trees were positioned back to back in no-man’s land in Powfoot, SW Scotland, they were completely stacked with sour, jelly making fruit.
