Fir trees seem to sprout up all over the place on the hillsides. The fir tree saplings do particularly well in shelter of other bushes/shrubs – but as the firs grow they no longer need the shrub and so it becomes a battle to see whether the tree or bush will get bigger and outgrow the other. This curious tree-bush is one of those cases, at the moment they seem to be living in perfect harmony, although this may not last for long.
