Lots of Berries on the trees - Harsh Winter ?

[t1234]

I just heard that there are lots of berries on the trees and this means nature is storing up for a hard winter ahead. Anyone else noticed this ?

absolutely loads of Haws up my permission

as to if it will be a harsh winter can but hope

 

[Toddy]

Not round here
I was thinking that if it was a harsh Winter then a lot of creatures are going to suffer. It's been a sodden wet Summer and Autumn.

cheers,

Either the trees can predict the future weather more accurately than all the worlds weather supercomputers, or they are reacting to their environment.

I think the latter, although I suspect the accuracy of predicting the weather by counting berries wouldn't actually be that far behind our best efforts.

We haven't had a Poll in ages; someone sort one out while I scrabble for hankies? I've got the cold and chesty cough from the hot place

Lots of berries means a productive spring/summer just gone.

Or a psychic hawthorn.

You decide which is more likely.

 

[Man of Tanith]

i like the sounds of a psychic hawthorn.......
but have to go with successful seasons beforehand

Yes. Nature is providing more food for the birds than usual in my garden. Sign of a hard winter coming. Someone mentioned that to me just the other day.
