Fruits, Nuts and Seeds
Posted
on
With August upon us already, the summer is passing rapidly. Already many of the trees and plants around Foxglove have finished flowering and are now putting their effort into growing a variety of attractive nuts and seeds.
The Hazel bushes are supporting good numbers of chunky Hazelnuts
Wild Raspberries are abundant throughout the reserve
Our Crab Apple tree is covered in tiny apples
Some of the Hawthorn berries have started turning from green to red
Our Cherry tree has just one cherry
Although Autumn still feels a long way away, it is good to see such a variety of fruits, nuts and berries forming, to provide our birds and mammals with something to eat when the weather is cold and the days are short.
