FWIW I’d noticed the young foliage was looking a bit stressed/droopy after so much warm weather without rainfall. Especially the beech and oak trees.
Now they’re literally glowing green. Leaf size has noticeably increased in just the last 24hrs. The trees seem to have needed some cool/wet weather, even if just for 1 day.
Oops looks like this got buried. Point stands, it definitely hasn’t been a cold spring so far by any stretch of the imagination. And with more mega ridging coming up next week, it’s going to stay on the warm side.
