An impressive but unidentified tree in front of Cardiff’s County Hall, where I now work – I suspect it could be a birch but only spring and summer will reveal all…
The tree-following link box has now closed for another month.
To explore everyone’s updates, please go straight to the bottom of this post.
It is still unseasonably chilly here in South Wales and signs of spring are patchy, but we are told the weather is turning milder and we hope we have seen the end of the late snow. Best of all, I heard the first chiff-chaff (Phylloscopus collybita) in the garden on Monday, April 9.
We always love to read your tree news – so thank you to everyone who contributed this month. Here are the links…
STOP PRESS:
This first one came in a bit late, but Lucy used to run the tree-following link box and her tree is super, so I forgive her…
Loose and Leafy in Halifax – alder
Alison at the Blackberry Garden – quince
Erika Groth in Sweden – bird cherry
Lea’s Menagerie in Mississippi – possibly a maple
Flighty’s Plot – Liz’s black walnut and Mike’s medlars
Hollis (In the Company of Plants and Rocks) – boxelder (Acer negundo) and whatever’s nearby
Pat – Squirrelbasket – small-leaved linden
Andrew – Botany in Birmingham – magnolia
See you all again on May 7!

The Squirrelbasket 
Hi – thanks as ever for hosting this meme.
I am glad this Linky stays open a week. I have caught a cold, so I am staying indoors for a few days. Hope I feel well enough to go out to check on my tree soon. I may have to send my husband out with the camera, but who knows what he might come back with!
Have a wonderful week!
Hello, I’ve just published this month’s, rather brief, post for Liz’s black walnut and my medlars, and added the link. xx
My post is up … a taste of things to come. 🙂
boxelder still “sleeping” but other plants spring-ing into action 😉
Just put a slightly last minute post up! Thanks!
Excellent! I will keep an eye out for your magnolia in bloom next time 🙂
Late. Sorry. But here’s my link… https://looseandleafyinhalifax.blogspot.co.uk/2018/04/its-as-much-about-railings-tree.html
No problem! Great tree, great blog post!
All the best 🙂
