The tree-following link box has closed for another month. And summer has well and truly arrived.
Here in South Wales we have had rain for a week or two now as well as hot sunshine and the Covid-19 lockdown continues, while in England and some other parts of the world the stay-at-home measures are easing.
Any tree-related post is acceptable in these lock-down times and everyone has found something interesting to say, whether about their usual trees or others if they are unable to visit their first choice.
You will find everyone’s updates below, so enjoy exploring…
Crafty Green Poet – Juliet in Edinburgh, Scotland – horse chestnut
Flighty’s Plot – Liz’s white oak in Lexington, Kentucky, and Mike’s plum tree
Alison at the Blackberry Garden – quince – the quince count continues
Food For Thought – Sherrie in Indiana – maple and lots of other interesting stuff
Erika Groth in Sweden – possibly Salix fragilis
Hollis – In the Company of Plants and Rocks – Laramie, Wyoming – all about fir broom rust
JayP – Amblings around Penwith (Cornwall) – Cornus kousa
Pat – Squirrelbasket – Cardiff, Wales – Persian ironwood in summer

Thanks so much to everyone who contributed in July. Why not join us next time? Just 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. Although we all try to publish our tree followings every month, we are very forgiving if you post less often.
See you in August…
Oh the lime trees are wonderful at the moment aren’t they? One of my favourite scents!

Love your chestnut, too…
Limes are a favourite but there is only one sort that really smells, as far as I can tell, the one with white-backed leaves. We have an example near us which I thought I would never smell again as the site is being redeveloped for posh houses. But it’s still there, thank goodness…
I’m loving your blog 🙂
Hello, posted and linked for this month. xx
Sorry you have both had your disease/development problems this month!
Hope the trees look a bit better soon 🙂
Hi – I am doing my ‘happy quince counting’ dance this month on the blog – thanks for hosting again
And I see Quince Minor has grown up at last – you must be very proud!
All the best 🙂
Hi,
Hope your tree is doing better…is it possible to trim the sycamore tree??? Have a great day!
It will have to wait until my gardener is free from Covid-19 lockdown again, but the tree is surviving – just hard to see it all at once…
I’m enjoying your maple – and the photo challenge.
All the best 🙂
We’ve also had mostly rain in the last couple of weeks. Finally, if you ask me…
Everything is looking very fresh and green and lovely!
Your photographs are very artistic…
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Hello Pat, just posted my tree post for July, thanks for hosting, Frances
Sorry I’ve only just got around to looking – surprisingly VERY busy working during lockdown.
I do love this post, especially the buzzard!
All the best 🙂
Hi Pat, just added my July post but it’s not about my tree. You see, I met up with this thunderstorm …
Best wishes.
Fascinating post – very cunning idea and a very cunning botanical subject!
All the best 🙂
Hi Pat, just squeezed in before the deadline! Am looking forward to reading everybody’s posts this month. Jean
Sad to say goodbye to the dogwoods – but what a blaze of colour and interest!
Best wishes 🙂
