Flowering
Our mature maples are responding fast to springtime, in the last week or so they have come into flower and now it's raining flowers as the leaf buds push them off.
My dogs love to eat the flowers, they go grazing like cows, must be the maple flavor.
Another two or three weeks we will have a beautiful full canopy of new leaves, great for natural shade on hot sunny days

Our apple trees, cherry and peach tree are full of blossom britboy.
No blossom on the plum yet. We also have a huge tree in the garden, don't have a clue what it is, but it comes into leaf very late. I might take a pic when the leaves come on and get some clever person here to identify it.

Oops, the Govenor says the plum has already flowered! Don't think we're going to get much fruit off it though, doesn't look as if any have set
