May is marching on, and I’ve been travelling around the UK a lot in my new job, keeping an eye on phenology from Dorset to Oxfordshire, Somerset to Lincolnshire! Unfortunately this means I’ve not had much time for Track a Tree updates recently, but I hope everyone has enjoyed peak bluebell season as much as I have.
My travels have given me the opportunity to see Hawthorn, one of the most striking sights of our hedges and woodland edges, flower from the South to the North, starting in Dorset in April, and just reaching Edinburgh this week.
