I don't BELIEVE it!

I have a corkscrew hazel in a tub. It's been somewhat neglected over this summer on account of my bad leg. But I got up this morning to find that it's sprouting catkins - at this time of year. Is this usual or another example of global warming or something?

 

I don't have one, but think they are wonderful. My sister has one and we (t'other half and I) gave one to friends as a housewarming gift when they moved from Bucks to Cheshire. Lovely tree!

 

not seen that at this time of year before, MMD - but my garrya is doing it! Not sure if it's meant to either - must check - it's new to me this year...
Do we say "Roll on global warming" or start panicking? :confused:

 

We had one that used to produce a handful of catkins in the spring. I noticed last year that the ordinary hazels had catkins in November and this year they are already on the trees.

 

We have one but nothing on it that i've seen
Had a look at mine this afternoon & it has got catkins on!!!!!!
