    I got a big problem my apple tree has come back in bloom again. I have blooms on my Magnolias as well, and they are the early bloom type? Is there something I can do to stop this otherwise I cannot see them blooming next year

    Never heard of that before, had to look it up. Looks like a nice plant to grow.

        I know this was discussed in the office, but can't remember how we left it now - - - I think it was pending a decision from Webmaster.... I will go and chase it up now, thanks for the reminder :blue thumb:

          Couldn't believe it my Crab Apple has blossom on it, I wondered if it was caused by me giving it a summer pruning , After watching a fruit farmer on Utube who always prunes his fruit trees in the summer thought Id give it a try, it did upset the aphids tho.:)

          It has to be the weather - I assume the cold snap back in August did it? This evening, whilst sat in traffic at some lights on a roundabout, I spotted crocuses in bloom in the middle of the roundabout!

          The sad bit of this is that we might not get blooms next spring as a result?
