What to See – Autumn & Spring

The timing of the flowering in Spring of individual species, and similarly the timing of the leaf colour change of the deciduous trees in Autumn will vary somewhat from year to year, depending on the variability of temperatures, rainfall, and the impacts of wind and storms which can detach autumn leaves from the trees.
