Facts About Buds!
During the warmer months, particularly after spring has started, plants and animals are waking from hibernation. This is also the case for trees, where their buds are sprouting in all different sizes and shapes. After a lot of sunlight has been stored during the summer, the energy that has built up helps to grow the size of the buds, as well as helping to grow new flowers, leaves and branches.
If you are having a stroll through the woods, you may notice there are different coloured buds on the trees, such as brown, yellow and red. Depending on the type of bud it is, it will change and adapt. If a bud is pollinated it will develop flowers that will grow into fruit. Growth buds will then develop behind this. Both growth and wood buds can grow if a shoot is carrying leaves but there are no flowers. Fruit buds will typically start flowering in April or May and will have little hairs on them. They will be surrounded by leaves to give it protection. Growth or wood buds have slim buds that are more pointed and smaller in appearance.
