It is that tree following time of the month again – it does seem to be coming round faster as the months go on!
The changes don’t seem quite as obvious this month, plenty of crab apples on the tree but still very green. It all looks very healthy which is good – I think hacking it back quite drastically a few years ago did the tree some favours, it looks better for it.
If you want more details of the Tree Following challenge and have a look at a wide variety of trees that are being tracked, head over to the Loose and Leafy blog. If you click on my Tree
Following category you can see my original post in March, as well as the monthly updates to compare the difference.

Ooh we made crab apple and chilli jelly last year. It was delicious.
I like the sound of that, will get my chef on it..!
It’s very tasty.
A great looking tree, very healthy. The crab apples are going to look wonderful when they are ripe.
Interesting. The fruits are rose-hip shaped. Looking forward to seeing them red. Will birds then come to peck at them or are they too sharp?
They don’t go very red, still more green when they start falling, or they were last year anyway. The birds don’t seem very interested in them.
