We were remarking yesterday afternoon, on a drive back from Torquay to
home, that all the ash trees we saw are very late this year. Has anyone

The ash around here are always at least a couple of weeks behind
everything else, rowan, birch, beech, oak, sycamore, etc. From a
distance the ash buds here are still tightly closed but they ought to
bursting soon.
