Dogwood Tree
Steyning Health Centre

Dogwood is rarely allowed to grow into a small tree. Interesting fact: in the sun the twigs are coloured crimson, while those in the shade are lime green.

Holly Tree

Elderflower was beginning to flower as Wayfaring Tree was losing its flowers on the eastern verges of the Downs Link Cyclepath just north of the Tollbridge, where an Holly Tree was seen with its small white flowers. Hawthorn was in splendid blossom.

Blackthorn dominated the white blossom plentiful in the hedgerows and amongst the scrub on the downs. Cherry Plum had virtually finished and so had the early Blackthorn, but Hawthorn was yet to flower in the wild.

Hawthorn

Hawthorn was budding very early at Northbourne, Southlands, north Shoreham. But this was a planted hedge and not truly wild. Holly was still in berry in the same hedge.

Blackthorn flowers appear before the leaves and the Hawthorn leaves appear before the flowers.
