prunus subhirtella autumnalis
We have a small (4-year-old) autumn-flowering cherry that is only just looking as if it might in time come into blossom. Throughout the autumn and winter it had only perhaps a dozen blossoms on it, spread out over the months since November. Could this be something I am doing, or just another face of global warming? Is it the feeding? Mainly, I have no idea when winter-flowering trees should be fed: in winter, when they are supposed to blossom? Or in summer, when they are growing? Thanks! -- Klara, Gatwick basin |

prunus subhirtella autumnalis
Mines just starting to flower now, hardy a blossom Nov-Feb. Also 4 years
old. In fact now much blossom at all in previous years, but then I think the sparrows eat it! "Klara" wrote in message ...

prunus subhirtella autumnalis
Our 8 - 10 year old was in flower in the Autumn and I can only assume it has
been the same all the time. We only came home yesterday from 3 months away and it is full of flowers.

It normally flowers during the warmer spells in the winter, so
obviuosly with the weather this year is hasn't had any on these warmer spells that are long enough to initiate flowering. Now it is a bit warmer it is doing what it would have done during the winter in normal years. |

In message , Trevor
writes Mine hasn't flowered in winter in the mildest winters recently. Well, after all of these it looks as if autumnalis is a bit of a misnomer, except in mild winters in a mild spot! -- Klara, Gatwick basin |

Both of mine have flowered throughout the whole winter without fail for the last 10 years. Still in flower now. (W Yorks, 400ft) -- Kay |
