This climate change lark (should that be accorded capital letters? Is it a proper noun?) isn't fun.
Exhibit A: the lemon tree.
It has, simultaneously, mature fruit, juvenile fruit and blossom.
The poor tree hasn't had its traditional rest over winter. Largely because winter hasn't happened. There's been a bit of rain. It's been a bit cool. But winter - nope.
The other citrus are suffering similarly, but it's most noticeable on the lemon. The poor mulberry hadn't even lost its leaves before it was bursting forth with juvenile fruit.
We also feel sorry for the bees who are as busy as they are in spring and summer.
