I’d seen blossom on trees and heard of blossom on other trees but this afternoon I noticed that my own apple tree has grown new leaves. In December.
Now, I don’t know a lot about trees – of any sort – so it looks like some research is in order before I do any kind of pruning. The tree does need it and normally it would have been done by now.
Admittedly, I seem to remember we did it at Old Sleningford Farm in February, so there is time yet to get the branches growing in the wrong direction etc sorted out. On the other hand, will new leaves grow in the spring or will the tree be simply too confused after growing them in the winter?
A less baffling matter is the new growth on the tomato plant I bought at the beginning of April. There has been a continual supply of cherry tomatoes since June, so I really couldn’t complain if it keeled over with exhaustion at this point. However, it clearly enjoys what it doing and is getting enough heat and light to do anything but.
Maybe I’ve got yet another potential perennial on my hands?
Growing out of chaos 
Enjoy that growth on the apple. I always prune them end of winter .. Your tomato is showing off 😄
It certainly is – the tomato, that is!
So you reckon the new growth of the tree is okay then?
Lovely update thank you for sharing Helen Have Blessed day
Same to you, Linda 🙂
That tomato plant still looks fab, I would suggest that there was still life in the old dog yet 😉
Yes, I think the flowers will turn to more tomatoes 🙂
You have the greener thumb then of anyone I have seen. My tomato plants usually run away from home. :).
I think it’s just luck on my part lol 🙂
