The apple blossom is appearing early as, in an earlier blog, I suggested it might.
I've just noticed that the blossom on my Beauty of Bath is starting to come out.
My reference book (Morgan and Richards The Book of Apples) gives 9th May as the optimum date for pollination of that variety. I assume that is the time the flowers are all completely open, which may not be for a day or two yet, but the tree is still at least three weeks ahead of schedule.
Once again, Spring has come early, and I have no complaint.
