The tree is just starting to shoot.
The weather has been quite cold this Spring and everything is later than has been the case in the last few years.
31st October 2006.
The tree was totally leaf cut in June, and then cut back to two pairs of leaves as the foilage grew. It was well fed during the summer.
The foilage is just changing colour and it is late this year
10th October 2007.
The tree has been well fed during the summer months and regularly trimmed as required.
The leaves were all cut off in June after the new leaves had hardened.

The tree was put in the greenhouse for a week due to frosts, but is still outside at this time as the weather is mild.
