春天真的到來了, 請看復活節來臨前, Pine tree 枝梢冒出許多棕黃色梗梗, 仔細瞧瞧...
哇! 全是好可愛的小十字架呢!
Pine trees start their new growth in the weeks before Easter.
If you look at the tops of the Pine trees two weeks before Easter,
you’ll see the yellow shoots. As the days get closer to Easter Sunday, the tallest shoot will branch off and form a cross.
By the time Easter Sunday comes around, you will see that
most of the Pine trees will have small yellow crosses on
all of the tallest shoots.
This really happens we live where there are lots of pines, and each year this actually happens, it is amazing to watch, and the process of the new growth appears as crosses on the ends of each branch.
