Well, this is quite exciting. After several years of trying to get hold of Neoshirakia japonica, I was lucky enough to bid for one at the meeting at .events last November. A young tree generously donated by and so I'm quite surprised by the presence of a couple of teeny flower spikes. Female flower at the base, male flowers held above.
Loads more information about this lovely plant on .treesandshrubsonline if you'd like to learn more...

Big thanks to all of my fabulous volunteers - I couldn't do this alone. Thank you to:

It's the last day of this year - and it's going to be a warm one! On a much colder Tuesday, I was lucky enough to be interviewed by the lovely Carol Klein about all things Acer. Check it out on the BBC iPlayer...
