Plant amazing Acers.

Mine had all its buds blasted off by something as well, can't decide whether
its weather or disease. One of our pear trees is looking very poorly as well

Round here the bullfinches were out in force earlier, stripping buds off everything.

Everything is late this year. I'm not sure our hawthorn is yet in flower, and our fancy Crataegus sp (can't remember which one) certainly hasn't flowered yet - but it's always later than the hawthorn.
