Tree Following - April
I This Jan I joined a web site called The Squirrelbasket and once each month for a year we follow a tree and report our findings and or discoveries on their website.
y Tree for the month of April is of course a Lilac Tree.
Each year, everyone on the site chooses a tree too see what it does and if any germinate and grow into new trees
# what look to see what its bark looks like – when it’s wet and when it’s dry
# whether anything grows on it – like lichens and mosses
# whether any creatures sit on or surround the tree or even nest within– insects, birds, butterflies
# what plants grow all round it and what they do, too
And we invite others to join us – to choose a tree and to “follow” it.
There will be a linky box on the 7th of every month and is live for a week for everyone to get a chance to upload their links.
The arrival of fragrant blossoms heralds in spring for me with the beauty of these magnificent Purple blooms in my front garden.
Key Words: Trees or shrubs with opposite leaves and 4 sepals, 4 or 0 petals and 2 stamens.
