Been for an adventure with the litte man today down the canal, ended up doing about 6 miles!!!!

Anyway, on the look out for Elderflower trees, i know there not in flower yet, but hoping to spot them ready.

So, got some pics, think i know which one it is, but just need some conformation :hmm:

Possible Elderflower :wha: ;

Some other tree, thinking maybe :hmm: , is it mayflower or something?? Remember LHBS saying something, or reading it somewhere

Top ones look more like hawthorn to me. Elderflower have much bigger flower sprays.
If I remember the camera in the morning I'll take a pic of some whilst walking the dog

Most definetely, none of the above. The leaves don't look like that :nono:

oh, bugger!! I did look on google pics but i just couldnt really get an idea of what they looked like.

Is it worth just waiting a month and having another look?? :wha: :wha: :wha:

You might as well wait until they come into flower anyway, some varietys taste like cat p**s.

in my experience (which admittadly is quite limited), elderflower only smells/tastes of cat **** if you pick it a day or so after it has rained - if you make sure to pick it after a few days of hot sun you'll be fine
