Is it me, or are the Ash not strangely early this year???

Making up for last year then!!

[the village idiot]

Aye. Some birch aren't even out yet some oaks are breaking (though variation is significant) and ash are also breaking; particularly angustifolia. Ash have been in flower for a good while too, with a pennsylvanica having bud break for flowers way over a month ago.

 

My chestnuts have been growing for weeks and some ones where I work are in young yet sizable leaf.

 

Field maples again - some not out, some are. Norway maple in the garden is just breaking into flower.

 

As for lime, I suppose it has to be darn soon.

 

One goat willow was out in Feb, too. Not sure on exactly phenology of goat willow, however.

 

White poplars seem late.

 

Is that not causing you some difficulties?

My oaks have only just started & ash is slightly behind. Beech still dormant but some of the robinia doing well. Almond has pretty pink blossom & osier has grown about a foot so far

Hah!

 

Keep such comments to the hot tits thread you made.

...some of the robinia doing well.

 

My seedlings are, but actual mature specimens 'aint done a thing!
