The larch tree is still green and the new cones still look young
the elder bush that grows just under the larch is now in fruit, though the berries aren't ripe yet
the sycamore tree near the larch has got
tar spot
Tar spot is an unsightly fungus, but doesn't seem to affect the health of the tree.
OPAL are asking people to take part in their
tar spot survey.
On the other side of the river the hornbeam trees are coming into their most beautiful time of year, their chandeliers are starting to turn yellow
Meanwhile, I've added
another photo to the downloadable photo section of the Crafty Green Poet Etsy shop.
Hey Juliet,
ReplyDeleteI'm still enjoying following the larch with you. A little late commenting tonight as I was extremely unwell for a couple of days. But coming around now.
Three day migraine=ugh.
Larch= yippee!
My goodness....I'm lovin' all the different trees. I don't think I've ever heard of a larch tree before.
ReplyDeleteEverything is still pretty green! Our maple tree has tar spots.
ReplyDeleteLovely images of your tree following! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteHi Josephina, hope you're feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteHootin Anni - larch is a very interesting tree...
Karen - the leaves are just starting to turn, but mostly yes everything is still green...
Eileen - thanks
I didn't know what those spots were called and I know we have some spots on a lot of plants from the cold wet spring.. Lovely to follow a tree.. I wish I had kept up with mine for the meme...Michelle
ReplyDeleteIt's happy and sad. Bittersweet. I've had enough gardening, though!
ReplyDeleteThis a beautiful tree and I have the same tar fungus on my maples.
