Have you seen all the sloes ripening in our hedgerows? It's going to be a good autumn for them, despite the lack of rain. Blackthorn is your first tree, an easy one to find as it's very common - be careful of those wicked thorns though. You can watch the video, grab the cheat sheet and view the photo gallery now. Just head over to the "classroom" area to find it. Who's got a recipe for sloe gin then? 🫐🍷

Thanks for joining. I'd like your quick opinion on how the lessons should be laid out in this community. We can either format the modules so they appear as they do in the existing Complete Tree ID Course with everything grouped by season; winter, spring, summer and autumn. Or we could have a separate folder for each tree species. or perhaps you have your own idea - which you can include below in a comment. Whichever is the most popular choice is what we shall do going forward.
