tree seeds

The first ripe seeds are appearing on trees. Here's a picture of two wind borne types. Willow produces lots of tiny seeds in white fluff, pretty much like dandelion seed. On a sunny day with a bit of a breeze the air around a willow tree can be full of seed.


Wych elm's seeds are also windborne, but they're substantially bigger Each seed is surrounded by its own wing, which will help to carry the seeds away from the parent tree.
