new growth on the almonds…in england…in early february, last years leaves not dropped, and only some damaged by frost…this is a deciduous tree, the nearest other orchards are in spain…it really shouldnt do that well here, and i was hoping that it might do ok and maybe shift on in vigour as the weather warms in coming years but leafing ahead of all the native trees but a few ash is ridiculous
the climate is on the move, and perhaps i was right about the almonds working out, but its not all good news
