Overnight Snow

Posted on April 6th, 2008 in Weather & Seasons by Adam

We had some snow last night here in Wales which left the garden looking very pure and white. I was considering covering up the trees which have come into leaf last night but I prefer to let things happen naturally, plus I was feeling ill. They might have a little bit of frost damage as a result but it shouldn’t last too long until new leaves appear again. Quite a lot of the bonsai have not sprouted leaves yet anyway, it’s mainly only the smaller more eager shrubs such as berberis, hawthorn and cherry. Hazel is starting to come into leaf also but this late snow might knock it back a bit.

Here are some pictures of my snow covered trees for you:
