Did you know that there are trees that lose their leaves in June?

  • We have the longest days of the year and great changes come for whoever wants, for whoever wants. The daylight, which is long and long, begins to shorten and shorten. It will bring winter to the mind of plants. These trees that we feel are not losing their leaves in winter, are going to renew their foliage.

Pinu luma, hostoa edo orria.

What happens at the remarkable plants in June? What would you answer if you were asked this question? The evolution of high-media ecosystems has other measures, but in the Netherlands, to the south or to the east, spring purity has gone. The peak moments of flowering and foliar costumes have passed, and it seems that the next remarkable step, worthy of being bantado, will be the fall, a time when we will gather the fruits and see the change of color and the fall of the foliage.

For the month of June has its knot in the new time of the plants. We have the longest days of the year and great changes come for whoever wants, for whoever wants. The daylight, which is long and long, begins to shorten and shorten. It will bring winter to the mind of plants. Spring games and celebrations will blur. And the mind, the mind of each, promises each plant its own, and lots of things will happen. In fact, the month of June has many names: stío, reedad, aramaio, ereiaro, vaquilla, beetles, beer, new May...

Many trees and bushes will lose their leaf. Yes, even if it sounds like a lie, it will be time to lose the leaf. Those who seem to us not to lose leaves on their own in winter will now renew the hosting. Snakes like skin or birds like feather, when old ones are thrown new leaves underneath. Currently, most of the mirrors, palm trees and conifers are transformed into logs (Quercus ilex), zarzamora (Quercus suber), mimosa (Acacia dealbata), acebo (Ilex aquifolium), gorosti (Ilex aquifolium). Not all puff pastry; usually the leaf lives between two and three years, so some leaves fall. There are a lot of dry leaves that pile up underneath the plant and when you see this, you're afraid it's going to get rid of completely. “They don’t lose leaves, and how is it possible?” they say. Yes, they lose and calmly, repopulation is the best sign that the plant lives well and forcefully.

As an old leaf, any part that is not on it will be thrown now. The growth produced by the new sweat leads you to see now the dead branches under the plant. I saw it at the door of the house with the Keyaki or Japanese zelkoba (Zelkova serrata). If the old ones are added and the rain helps to increase sweat, there are also plants that give a second outbreak, more recent leaves at the ends of the branches of the new leaf: Pedunculated oak (Quercus robur), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), maple (Acer spp.) etc.

There are also those who use this indentation to decrease the length of daylight. Now it flourishes and by autumn fruits and seeds are ready for reproduction. Chestnut (Castanea sativa), gravel (Lippia citriodora) and magnolia are three of them. Those who now flourish have aromatic flowers. Even if you have a bad view, your nose will take you to them.

In the blooms of June this year we have a curiosity, never seen: some apples (Malus domestica) in bloom. Not one or two, but quite a lot. Unusual and that does not include the most well-known proverb on the flowering of apples: “If it was no better than March, better than April and May.” This year we will also have to add the June one, and do not hesitate that we will also have it available in years ago. The net impact of climate change. My proposal: “And the last of June,” which is not needed at all. Come on, throw me away!
