Back

There are two almond blocks separated by a dirt road in the research orchards I visit most often. One block is already mostly through blooming and leaves are significantly emerged. The northernmost orchard is a litle behind. It's blooming, but the leaves haven't really popped yet.

Here's a floral bud (pops first) and vegetative bud side by side so you can compare their form and development. #Botany #Horticulture #PlantMorphology
