Early Spring?
I was cutting down an overgrown honeysuckle in Reay today, and when I say overgrown, I mean three van loads. But it was leafing out all over. Pruned some Buddleja too, with leaf buds bursting all over. We have had a hard spell last few weeks, but a very mild back-end. Shrubs are leafing out now, very early, despite the frost. I reckon the mild back-end is responsible for the early leafing-out, but I am a gardener, not a botanist. Any botanists or gardeners like to comment?
There are neither rights nor wrongs in gardening. Only experiences.
