    I agree ... amelanchier ... ours is covered with blossom at the moment  :)

    Is that early? Ours hasn't even got buds swelling yet, and I'm in the mild SW.

    Our amelanchier was in full bloom last week, all coming off now. It has been really early this year, probably due to the warm spell we had.

    It’s fractionally earlier than the last couple of years ... it’s usually in full bloom by the last week in April 

    Excuse the lumps of kitchen foil ... there’s a fat wood pigeon who keeps landing on the finer branches in an attempt to eat the blossom and he’s snapped a couple of branches  ... fortunately he’s scared of kitchen foil. 😆

    We've got a couple doing a "second visit" to our barn ... I might copy your idea!

    @Dovefromabove I was just going to ask, as I could not figure out what it was. That's a lovely one.
    Much as I like birdies I would be doing the same. I flapped a white chopping board at two the other day jumping and flapping all over my troughs.

    I think with Amelanchiers or anything really it depends on the siting and microclimates within our gardens which makes for the discepancies in flowering times.
    Happy gardening Ronsevers

    Mine are only in bud so far.  But then we are always about 3 weeks behind anyone else in the Uk.
