Mistletoe on Maple
A clump
of Mistletoe
was spotted in the fork of a tree in the Park Avenue Open Space, north
Shoreham. This was the first time I have noted
this parasitic
plant in the wild.

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.
