Buds are on lime trees! larch buds have popped! it was springtime here today!

Blackthorn in flower, helped finish off a fell on a Sycamore today and sap was leaking out. We have Welsh Poppies in flower in the garden.

The trees in flower are a lifeline for our bees, they have been in the hives throughout the winter and now is the start of their foraging.

We stop pruning trees prone to bleeding mid January now . Global Warming is my thought . In the 1990s we were pruning birch trees late feb early march ?

Was harvesting hazel sticks today, sap wetting the stumps all day!

[Ty Korrigan]

We felled a gurt oak around 15th Jan and the sap was pouring out of it.

The stem was felled 'downhill' and the sap came out of the top of the stem at such a rate that we estimated that an hour would produce 5 litres at least.
