Tree Following July 2021 - Let's Go Round Again

By Ozhene @papaver

There I was in June being all excited by the plethora of quinces adorning Quince Major and Quince Minor. Unlike a bird in the bush being worth two in the hand, a quince on the bush turns into several in the hand which at this time of year is not a good thing.

Yes, they, almost to a quince, dropped off. Leaving this two quinces on Quince Major.

and this not too healthy looking one on Quince Minor. I held my breath as I inspected it in case it blew away.

As I stood there, a little deflated I noticed.....

a bud.....

and then a flower.....

then another flower...................

I assume this is a reaction to the late frosts. Both Major and Minor have had a blossom or two appear. Will they become quincelets?

Time will tell.

(p.s. I hope the title has provided an ear worm, if not, find song then hum it constantly - I am not showing my age ...... much ......)

Thanks as ever to Squirrelbasket for stewarding this forest of followed trees. More can be found here.

Stay safe and be kind.
