As I replied there it's great to see you doing this and I'll be more than happy to support it. I'll also give you a mention in a forthcoming post and show a link as well. <br />I'll also be doing a plot trees post next month as they start to show signs of new growth.

I was even thinking of juxtaposing two trees; one that is growing in a wild portion of local forest and one that is on one of our clients properties that we will be caring for this year. Haven't decided yet but I will let you know.<br />One thing about Sycamore trees here on Cape Cod is that they always get infected with Nectria canker and never look healthy. Too bad, because they are otherwise very nice trees!Forest Keeperhttp://forestkeepersofcapecod.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-84799092118470548162012-02-12T19:09:55.710+00:002012-02-12T19:09:55.710+00:00How lovely to see the fresh green leaves of the fe...How lovely to see the fresh green leaves of the fern and lords and ladies - like other commenters I'm surprised that the arum was further on this time last year.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-23449710498763757832012-02-12T09:54:33.138+00:002012-02-12T09:54:33.138+00:00Interesting to read that the arum was further on a...Interesting to read that the arum was further on at the same stage last year. At the moment I am feeling more like a tree looser than a follower. Hot on the heels of our neighbour's total destruction of a beautiful tree, we have just had to have a willow pollarded, after January's <br />winds wreaked havoc with its branches. Too near the house to risk further incidents but still most sad :( Look forward to reading more about your 2012 tree.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-6351388771442609212012-02-12T04:53:01.508+00:002012-02-12T04:53:01.508+00:00There is something very special about trees.

I was surprised too by the 'last year' and 'this year' comparison. It was the opposite of what I would have anticipated too. I was expecting there to be the beginnings of lesser celandines as well - but there weren't. At least, there were some little green blobs which might have been them - but not undamaged enough or big enough to be certain. Will keep an eye on them all.Lucy Corrander Now in Halifax!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14685242329129914772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-8190548945609943102012-02-11T16:33:50.301+00:002012-02-11T16:33:50.301+00:00It's funny that the Arum is less well advanced...It's funny that the Arum is less well advanced this year than last, because in general we have had a pretty mild Winter.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-79419578494172812012-02-11T15:49:53.571+00:002012-02-11T15:49:53.571+00:00I'm so glad I found you on Twitter!

It's like being a small child again and looking up to a big, comforting adult. <br />I think your new elder looks absolutely incredible and can't wait to see the year unfolding through its boughs. And I can't wait till Monday when I post my first tree-following blog - I've chosen my tree and taken some pics already! <br />*Moongazy Girl*Kit Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747077148847756149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083229388630903702.post-65222496392509991862012-02-11T15:35:05.434+00:002012-02-11T15:35:05.434+00:00Those first two photos are gorgeous.
