Spring

The trees are all starting to show signs of the warmer weather.  The Manchurian Pear has been in blossom for a while and now it has a good show of leaves  as well. The Tallow wood tree is budding, the silver birches have leaves , although they still have some growth to go. The flowering plum has some tiny little leaves just appearing.

There are so many things to plant. I did just three on the weekend.
Magnolia x soulangeana.  I suspect it will be a pink although I'd have loved to have gotten one of the deep red/wine flowered ones.
