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.
If you are new to tree following, read all about the idea here.
It’s not like a new year resolution. you can start at any time. So why not join us? Point us to any tree-related post you would like to share, using the link box published on the 7th of each month and lasting for a week.
In Cardiff it has been a frosty month but there have been wet weeks and one night snow fell an inch thick on the ground – although it had melted away again by the middle of the next day.
Some tree followers have already chosen their subject for 2019, while some have yet to decide. Here are their all-important links…
Erika Groth in Sweden – aspens
Frances at Island Threads, off the North West coast of Scotland – hawthorn
Flighty’s Plot – Liz’s witch hazel in Lexington, Kentucky, and Mike’s apple tree
Anima Monday – Austin’s Treaty Oak
Alison at the Blackberry Garden – cold Quince
Pat – Squirrelbasket – London plane
Andrew – Kind Hearts and Corydalis – oak
We always love to read your tree news – so thank you to everyone who contributed this month. See you all again on March 7. Why not join us and follow a tree throughout the year? Although we all try to publish every month, we are very forgiving if you post less often.
hello Pat, thanks for hosting TF, I have not been for a walk around the college grounds yet the weather has been too cold for me, maybe next month, however I have decided to follow the little hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna, Common Hawthorn) in my garden, but as it has never flowered I do not think it will give me enough to write each month, so I might follow 2 trees, the second being a tall tree from the college grounds, I will know for sure next month, thanks, Frances
I am also dithering over two trees but will need to choose this week!
Any contribution from you is always gratefully received.
Best wishes π
Hello, I’ve just done and linked this month’s post for Liz’s witch hazel and my apple tree. xx

Hi – thanks as ever for hosting this meme.
And thanks as ever for meeting us every month π
whew, that was close! But glad I got to itβa good experience as always. Cheers π
A great contribution as always π
The monthly meet certainly gives me a focus, although my daily life outside the blog is rather swamping me at the moment! Hence my tardiness in responding to comments…
Thanks for hosting. I’m here under a new guise this year – last year I joined you as Botany in Birmingham. Still true to form and being very last minute though!
No problem – and glad to welcome you back π
