Plantwatch: Autumn arrives with brilliant colour and a bumper crop of berries

4:42 PM | Posted by Free Game Zone | | Edit Post

is a very special autumn. It was a big surprise in September when the trees change color many prematurely, such as maples wild - our only native maples, the red flame that has become in many areas and then lost their leaves, a good month in advance of normal. Fresnos was also a rare yellow, produce clusters of very few winged seeds known as keys and are now largely denuded of all its leaves. This is a string of hot, dry spring and the trees started to grow from the head start, much earlier than normal.

Other trees are facing an early fall caused by pests and diseases. Many are brown in a sorry state and producing a small crop of conkers because of bleeding canker disease and pest leafminer. And leaves of planes in London early fall due to a fungal infection called masseria previously found in Holland and Germany.
  • But now comes a fall that full color front most of the other tree leaves appear as scheduled this week in Scotland and northern England. In total, this will do for an extraordinarily long fall.
And it's been a fantastic year for fruit, hawthorn, blackthorn, holly and producing excellent crops of berries. But it's not so good for mushrooms and fungi, which suffer from lack of rain in dry areas of the country, but they are thriving in the wetlands of the north.
