Blossom calendar
Fruit trees bursting into flower is one of the first indications that winter truly is on the back foot and the new year of nature's calendar is beginning. If the conditions are right, some trees may be unfurling their first blooms as early as the end of January, and as our climate warms this is becoming more common.
