POHUTUKAWAS IN BLOOM
The mildness of the winter is reflected in the vagaries of flowering trees and shrubs in the Whakatane district, states the "New Zealand Herald." Pohutukawa trees in Otarawairere Bay, near Ohope, are showing fairsized patches of blossom and judging from the seedheads on one tree, which has just shed its blossoms, the display must have been comparable with that of the summer. Peach trees at the beach have also flowered, as have plum trees in Whakatane itself. The weather still continues to be very mild in the Opotiki district and the whole countryside shows a rich green. Feed Is coming away at a good rate. Trees in this district also are commencing to blossom unusually early. As the ground is warm farmers are hopeful that there will be early spring growth.
