Cherry tree blossoming.

Hi john :)
Deffinatley global warming, it has to be, i had 4 new fronds on my treefern in august, my pear tree has blossomed twice! second time a few weeks ago, the pears are Teeny and have no chance of growing, then 2 weeks ago i had new flowers on one of my hosta's!!! Mad or What :))))

Strange Dee. I also got a new flush of leaves on the old Dicksonia in August. I think mine was 4 as well. I'd forgotten that. My pear lost it's blossom and leaves in late spring and has looked dead ever since. I am just waiting to see what it does next year. I reckon we'll just have to wait and see. But I'm still interested in other people's 'Tales of the Unexpected'.

No doubt about the weather, but perhaps your Cherry needs a mate, Try putting a flowering branch of another similar tree,but not quite the same. in a bottle with water to keep it fresh tie it to one of the branches and hope to cross pollinate

Thanks Po. Being an eccentric (or crazy) millionaire I might just by a second tree although when I bought it I was told it was self pollinating. But who can trust a nurseryman? LoL.

OOOOOH! I've never talked to a real millionaire before! Hi Sarra - can you spare a couple of quid for a poor OAP who needs to buy a few plants - please? lol.

About strange goings-on in the garden, my Ceanothus is in flower again. Mind you, it did it last year too. Not sure why.

Spritzhenry. I am so rich I could write a cheque for £10,000 and throw it on the fire. I wouldn't even miss it. Might have problems sending you a couple of quid though. If you want to send me a fiver to cover post and packing I'll see what I can do. LoL.

John.
