Not an Early Spring

January 18, 2025

Every year, around the arb, there are these four trees that burst into bloom in January, and every year I say, wow, isn’t it a bit early for spring?? Today walking around the creek with Lisa, Claire and Scouters, we came upon those four trees and wouldn’t you know, they were in full bloom! January 18.

Claire looked them up. They are Japanese Apricots and are known for blooming in late winter… expected to bloom in late winter. For us in Davis, that is January. So, well done, Japanese Apricots!

It was cold!! 36 degrees when we started the walk, 52 degrees when we ended it.
