Silhouette of an oak tree on New Year’s Day, 2021

The tree-following link box has closed for another month. Any tree-related post is acceptable in these lock-down times and everyone has found something interesting to say.
Here in Cardiff the dark winter days start to lengthen perceptibly. The New Year has started with a very cold snap, with bitter north-easterly winds and night-time temperatures hovering around zero. But there has also been plenty of welcome sunshine.
I have said goodbye to the Persian ironwood tree I have been following, even though I will still see it from my study window every day. I am about to launch my new tree for 2021.
You will find everyone’s updates below – enjoy exploring…
Flighty’s Plot – Liz’s seven-son flower tree (Heptacodium miconioides) in Lexington, Kentucky, and Mike’s Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus)
Erika Groth in Sweden – rowan tree
Alison at the Blackberry Garden – quinces pretend to be asleep
Pat – Squirrelbasket – Cardiff, Wales – a new tree for 2021
Crafty Green Poet – Juliet in Edinburgh, Scotland – silver birch
… and her update here
Andrew in Birmingham, UK – Kind Hearts and Corydalis – Rookery Park’s lime avenue

Thanks so much to everyone who contributed in January. 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 February…
