Just a curious observation - my little oak sapling has still not lost all of its leaves... Is it confused by our weird winter?
(Yes, its permanent home is outside, no protection...)

Walked past a normal size Oak the otherday with its leaves still on - there is an evergreen variety apprently - and noticed this afternoon one of the seedlings in the garden, just one mind, has its leaves - must have picked up an acorn at some point - eaither that or its the mild weather..... |

Quercus ilex is evergreen but the young ones have spines like Holly which seem to disappear with maturity. |

The odd weather has resulted in many of my potted oaks keeping their leaves. I have about 7. 3 are in ddep pots with loads of organic soil as they are recently collected and they are still in leaf. The ones in shallow pots with cat litter are bare. I expect the coming week to shift the last few green leaves, but the longer they are green the longer they are producing food for the tree, and that can't be a bad thing in England. |
