Hawthorn, flowers just opening. We planted this #hedge in 2019. For rapid #CarbonCapture capture scrub outperforms #trees though in a 15-30 year timescale the trees will take over. The trees will also do better with the hedge for cover. As well as being full of buds this hedge is full of #birds, biodiversity and carbon capture hand in hand.
The world's tallest and longest hedge, the Meikleour Beech Hedge runs alongside and towers over the A93 a few miles south of Blairgowrie in Perthshire. Planted in the autumn of 1745, it has a tragic story to tell. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/blairgowrie/meikleourhedge/index.html
