From March until July, this has been the best for native tree blossom that I can recall in our part of the North Pennines. It started with sloe and is now coming to an end with elder. Here they are, in chronological sequence
Blackthorn aka Sloe
Wild cherry aka gean
Hawthorn
Bird cherry
Rowan aka mountain ash
Elder
It has been a good show this year. Blackthorn was good but the Hawthorn which is just finishing here was superb.
ReplyDeleteBest hawthorn I can remember, Adrian - though I think the elder was better last year
