My apple & cherry trees are starting to #blossom. If you have fruit trees, please take a few minutes to upload records to @Fruit_Watch. It helps us @UniofReading & @OracleResearch track #climatechange impacts on flowering #phenology

Apple buds are starting to waken from dormancy, so I thought it might be a good time to re-post my photo-series showing the growth and development of a single 'Herefordshire Russet':

Around the world in 20 pears.
We have 30 varieties of pears, the collage only allowed for 20 but how amazingly diverse!
I love this!!

People seemed to like the pear collage. So thought I'd add these.
These are 31 of our 153 varieties of apples. I had plans to take a photo of every single one, but it's hard to keep on top of thst in the height of the season. I'll try again next year.

Rising temperatures are causing #bees to emerge earlier, but what about blossom of the fruit trees they pollinate? Thats what we are hoping to find out thanks to your blossom submissions at fruitwatch.org! Stay tuned to see what we find! ππΈππ

Got very excited about 1st flowers open on my apple tree so entered it in @Fruit_Watch (PhD Project of @ChrisWyver33) Looking at results seems to be only apple flowering in eastern England! Come on, that surely can't be true. Join in if you can!

@Fruit_Watch wants to track flowering dates of fruit trees across the UK. If you see an apple, pear, cherry or plum tree in bloom, upload a record to fruitwatch.org to help understand how climate impacts blossom.

The area occupied by fruit trees has fallen by 97 per cent in London and by half UK-wide since 1900. But @ProjectOrchard is on a mission to bring nature's food banks back to our cities:

As we near 5,000 records and blossom season is in full swing, here is a look at where and when blossom was recorded across the country.
If you've got an apple, pear, cherry or plum tree and want to record its blossom progress it's not too late! Head to fruitwatch.org!

π π @Fruit_Watch are looking for anyone in Somerset growing fruit trees to input their data about when these trees flower. This helps monitor any impacts of climate change on this process. If you have a spare 5 minutes to get involved please visit: orlo.uk/u6G7c

We are aware of an issue with uploading photos on the website. We are looking into this and will hopefully have a fix soon! Sorry for the inconvenience.
In the meantime, if you have a record to submit, you are able to do it without uploading a picture.
