The approach of Spring

We know, in Bourne, that spring has arrived when the cherry trees on The Wellhead are in blossom. See, for example, TF0919 : The Wellhead Gardens, Bourne, Lincolnshire. In recent years many of the older trees have been removed, and replacements planted. As you can see here, the older ones are slower to burst into flower than some of the younger ones. I think we must wait a few more days for Spring.

Aesculus hippocastanum

A monumental Horse Chestnut, developing leaf cover rather faster than the willows behind, statuesque as they may be. This broad dome may not be long for this world. There is disease around, and the bark is damaged at the base of the trunk, whether by thoughtless boys or careless mowing I do not know.

Horse Chestnut Trunk

The base of the tree seen in TF0919 : Aesculus hippocastanum, showing the way the branches have spread more or less from one height, a mere two metres from the ground. I think this is a "managed" tree, supplied from a tree nursery with the growing point taken out at a young age.

Broken Bark

The bark of the tree in TF0919 : Aesculus hippocastanum, showing the typical twisted growth of the trunk, and the flaking, damaged, bark on the left.

Always look up

Looking into the crown of the tree in TF0919 : Aesculus hippocastanum, bursting with new leaf and flowers, and looking far healthier than it does down below.
