Ash buds now bursting..........


Ash trees are normally the last to come in to leaf. Tradititionally, if they come out after oak, it is to be a hot summer, before oak, it is to be a wet summer. In practice, there is a lot of variation between individuals in different locations, but, in general, the ash seems to be the last to come out this year.......so it looks like being a hot summer.The glorious hot weather over the past few days have really encouraged them to start to come out now, although it may be a week or more yet before some individuals start to show. Here are a series of photos out and about n Highland Perthshire at the weekend.
