The blooming of the pink blossoms in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland was delayed by cold March temperatures. Frequent snowfall, and the poorest February in thirty years.
The National Trust predicts a “truly incredible” spring blossom show across the UK next month.
The blooming of the pink blossoms in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland was delayed by cold temperatures in March, regular snowfalls, and the poorest February in thirty years.
As the charity launched its annual blossom campaign. The National Trust stated that a milder and wetter April will offset the previous bad weather conditions.
Andy Jasper, director of gardens and parklands for the trust, stated, “Although we had an overall mild winter, the recent cold snaps have slowed nature’s progression, and we can see the effects of this in many of our gardens with delayed blossoms.
“We are still in for a truly incredible show, where the delayed blossom will burst forth in waves across the country like an incredible Mexican floral wave, signaling the arrival of spring.”
Even though due to its “unique microclimate,” Cornwall bloomed early.”
Tom Cutter, assistant head gardener for the National Trust at Glendurgan Gardens near Falmouth, stated. “We have not been as severely affected by the recent cold snap and snowfall as the rest of the country.”
“As a result, our garden currently features a breathtaking display of magnolias for our guests to enjoy.”
Now in its third year, the National Trust’s blossom campaign encourages people to explore the blossom. Also share images on social media using the hashtag #Blossomwatch.
The campaign is part of a long-term initiative to return blossoming trees to the UK landscape. And establish an equivalent of Japan’s “hanami,” where people of all ages gather in the spring to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
