The cool, wet start to summer may have put a damper on berry season, but the trees have been loving it.
Both leafy trees and evergreens have benefited from all the moisture earlier this summer.
Tim Walsh, the nursery manager at MUN’s Botanical Gardens, says trees and grasses in particular have seen a big boost in growth.
Many trees have seen about a foot of new growth in a short period of time.
While trees and bush have benefited from the conditions, blueberries, which were in bloom at the time, have suffered and pickers are reporting far fewer blueberries this season.
