It is sending out new shoots, this new growth must be getting on for eighteen inches. I am hoping that this growth means that the tree is settled and maturing, maybe next year will be the year of the quince.I am also aware that I think the tree is getting overshadowed by the field maple that is in the boundary hedge. I am going to trim it back this Autumn, mainly because it needs it, but also to try and give the quince more of a chance.
I also love this time of year, just before Autumn is really apparent.
I look at the greenness of the leaves and there it is....
..that red line in the veins, Autumn is close and soon but briefly, this tree will shine again.More trees being followed can be found here: http://looseandleafy.blogspot.com/p/what-is-tree-following-and-list-of-tree.html?m=1 thanks as ever to Lucy for this meme.
