Here we are again for the monthly tree-following get-together. It’s May already but the weather here in the UK has remained very unseasonable, cold and wet. It has made the annual early bank holidays quite miserable.
But this weekend has been the celebration of our new King Charles III’s Coronation with an extra day off work to go with it. So I hope to go to visit the sycamore tree I am following in Cardiff’s Llandaff Fields at some time this week.
I hope you have all had a chance to inspect your trees and look forward to seeing everyone’s news and pictures once again.
I’m sure you regular tree followers will have something to report. Point to any tree-related post you would like to share, using the link box below. And please don’t forget to leave a comment.
The link box is now open for contributions and will stay open until 7pm GMT on May 14.
If you are new to tree following, read all about the idea here, although, as I keep oin saying, I really must update that page when I have the chance…
That’s a lovely photo of the beech leaves! Our weather up here in Edinburgh has also been unseasonably cold and wet

By the time I am replying to this the weather has turned again and it is wall-to-wall sunshine, although the NE breezes are keeping us to around 21 degrees in South Wales…
Take care 🙂
And thanks so much for joining us again in the “follow” – yours is an excellent and distinguished tree!
I wonder if apples are the only fruit or veg classified as eating and cooking?
I look forward to seeing your posts again later in the season.
All the best 🙂
It has been a very rainy few days – hopefully it will do our trees good.
Seems to be doing your quince tree a lot of good – how tall it has grown…
All the best 🙂
Hello, I’ve just done my post for this month and linked it. xx
Thanks for taking part again – even if you couldn’t reach your tree for the lovely cow parsley!
With rewilding the Chelsea Flower Show seems to be enthusing about plants like cow parsley this year…
All the best 🙂
Got there just in time … lots of rain the next few days. Best wishes!
Another fascinating post about some of the smallest botanical gems in your wonderful Wyoming…
All the best 🙂
We finally have spring up here too, although it’s a cold one.
I later watched most of the coronation ceremony on an online TV channel, so I could fast-forward to the interesting parts. An actual, more or less medieval-style coronation ceremony for a new king in modern times is unique after all. I could not imagine a Swedish king or queen getting away with that. The last time a new king got a coronation ceremony here was 150 years ago, in 1873.
I’m glad Spring has finally reached your birch tree – love the pale lichen on the bark.
I didn’t watch all of the Coronation ceremony either. But like many people here I was very distracted by {enny Mordaunt carrying the Sword of State and the nice man in a kilt herding the page boys…
All the best 🙂
