Whitebeam is another white flowering tree to add to hawthorn and rowan already in blossom. Elder comes a little later. The rain has left its mark on them, browning some petals but there's still plenty to enjoy. And the leaves of whitebeam have their own distinction, a shine above and greyish matt underneath.
Each year the group of sycamores outside the walls of the Strawberry Lee plantation make a bold start to Spring then sicken at this time with leaves curling and then browning.
The small beech seedlings don't seem destined to get this far having been badly affected by frost, unlike the bracken which just sends out another shoot to replace the early casualties.
