The trees are leafing up

Young leaves and growth- the red leafing cultivars are early to open. This means they can be prone to frost damage.

In early May not all the cultivars are in leaf yet- it can be an advantage to grow cultivars which are slow to leaf and flower to avoid the risk of late spring frosts.
