Reply:depends on the species of tree. Garrya flowers (have catkins) in winter. It has very long catkins.


It has been very warm this winter though, my fuschia is still flowering.
Reply:My roses started flowering just before christmas. First time I've seen roses during christmas! Very nice, I should have put christmas lights on them... :-)
