Pears are starting to open, plums are visible and most of the apples are starting - apart from Newton Wonder, which is always my latest to blossom. Late this year though ...
Early plum in blossom, pear flower buds are just about to break and the apple flower buds are not far behind, here in the East Midlands. Not expecting any signs of leaves for a couple of weeks or so.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Buds on Crabapple most advanced, can see white tips on the eating apple tree and the cooking apple is a but further behind. Both are very elderly though so are doing well! Baby plum tree has a huge number of swelling buds but they're nowhere near ready to open
