The arrival of green leaves heralds the falling of these magnificent pink Magnolia soulangeana blooms in a front garden I walked past this week
The April tree-following link box is now closed, but below are the links tree followers have shared this month.
Here in South Wales we are coming to the end of the pink and white cherry blossom season but most of the magnolias are still magnificent.
Some people have already chosen a new tree to follow – but spring is a great time for you to join us.
There’s no rush, you can join in at any time and you don’t really have to contribute every single month if that’s too much for you.
If you are new to tree following, read all about it here.
And without further ado, here are those links…
Alison at the Blackberry Garden – quince
Hollis (In the Company of Plants and Rocks) – Sabalites powellii fossil
Erika Groth in Sweden – rowan (Sorbus aucuparia)
Amy in the Sonoran Desert (A Small Sunny Garden) –
Arizona rosewood (Vauquelinia californica)
Mike – Flighty’s Plot – Liz’s tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) and Flighty’s dogwood (Cornus)
John Kingdon – The Rivendell Garden Blog – bombed by crabs
Frances at Island Threads, off the North West coast of Scotland – rowan (Sorbus aucuparia)
Pat – Squirrelbasket – elm leaves and fruit
April Hughes – fiddle tree – Liriodendron tulipifera
Thank you to everyone – see you all again on May 7!
The Squirrelbasket 
I was thinking this morning as I walked past my magnolia, it has now moved into petal-fall stage. Such beautiful trees. Thanks for continuing to host this meme.
It’s funny, though, that they “disappear” for me once they are covered in leaves and I don;t usually even recognise them.
I see your quinces are doing well, touch wood 🙂
Another meandering post. And I’m wondering how long I can continue to report on a tree that never changes 😉
Well you are doing an AMAZING job so far – I never knew there was so much to know!
All the best 🙂
Hello. It’ll be a combined post for Liz’s Tulip tree and my Dogwood this month, which I’ll probably post on Tuesday. Enjoy your weekend. xx
Thanks, will look out for that 🙂
I’ve just done it and added the link here. xx
So looking forward to seeing more on your elms! And I have managed to post this month 😉
Lovely – I have been over to see your lovey little tree and it’s looking very good 🙂
[…] as usual, to Squirrelbasket for hosting this […]
I too would love a Magnolia but I have to be brutal. Fantastic in its time but for the rest of the year …….. Well! I may make it to Cardiff in the next few weeks and, if I do, plan on a walk along “your avenue”.
Loved your crab-apple post.
The name of your blog reminds me that now it’s spring “my avenue” starts to look like an old picture I once saw of Lothlorien in Spring, with the slender trees all evenly spaced – I will add it at the end of my post…
All the best 🙂
hello Pat, I linked my post for April, I didn’t write a post in March because there was no change, your blossom in South Wales is finishing whereas here on Lewis it is only just starting, thanks for hosting, Frances
Been there, seen that! Lovely post!
I can imagine it is a lot colder up there – although April has taken a turn in a chillier direction here, too 🙂
