Thought we'd share these pictures of the new growth in our propagation area - truly stunning, wonder how many people would recognise these as Quercus #oakoftheweek

[Chevithorne Barton - National Oak Collection @chevithorneoaks]

Quercus pontica, hints at the promise of Spring with its beautiful buds swelling. This native of the Caucasus, NE Turkey and Armenia is great for smaller gardens rarely getting over 10m and when multistemmed looks very architectural #oakoftheweek

Azara flowers are small but sooo scented. My plant usually has a chocolate aroma but today smells of crunchy Amaretti biscuits 🍪! What’s smells like ‘spring’ on yr garden? @BBCDevon
