Blog 81

More fruits from mother nature this time from the sycamore tree (Acer pseudoplatanus) collected on my morning walk on Sunday 10th October.

When they drop from the tree, they rotate rapidly like little propellers , slowing their rate of fall. This allows any wind to drift them away from the source tree, where, hopefully they will land a distance from the tree, in the open so that sunlight reaches them, and assists germination and growth.
