Fruity signs of life - 2022 & 2023 & 2024

My raspberry canes have started producing leaves, I must admit I’ve not looked at any of the fruit trees. I only know about the raspberries because I thinned them out and transplanted some of the runners.

2024

One of the peach trees is covered in flowers - seems very early but, looking back at this thread its about a week earlier than previously.
There are a few flowers on one of the plum trees which has never flowered before.
When we have a fine day I'll check on the other fruit trees.

There was a bud on the thug blackberry which would be out now if I hadn't pruned it, but that's your lot for now, it'll be several weeks, if not months before our trees blossom.

Noticed Plums & cherries flowering last week. There’s still some flowers on them this week after the very strong winds.

My raspberries and the blueberry are flowering. I had to cover the strawberries with fleece last night against frost, probably again tonight too. The Pears and apples are in flower, I'm hoping they'll cope with the cold. Gone are the days when I cover fruit trees.

Pearlets (is that a word?) already!  My pear sets fruit and I get all excited at the prospect of lots of pears, then it chucks them all off. I think in 35 years I've only had 1 or 2 good crops from it.
