In Balmain (Sydney) I have today seen a cherry flowering. Also a
mulberry flowering. These trees have never before flowered in the autumn. Is this happening elsewhere in previously drought affected areas? |

On his radio program, Graham Ross (of Ground Force infamy) said that this week he saw in Sydney a row of pear trees all in full bloom. He said this is 6 months out of season, and that the trees haven't had a chance to store up much energy and by flowering at this time and setting fruit, many of them may die. This sounded pessimistic, but I guess he knows what he is talking about. Or else I misunderstood what he was saying. -- John Savage (newsgroup email invalid; keep news replies in newsgroup) |

But it will be interesting to see what happens in spring. |
