Reported in flower

Usually reported in flower mid-April to late May, middle week May 3–9.

Reported in fruit

Usually reported in fruit late June to early October, middle week Aug 30 – Sep 5.

From 193 records that show fruit. Not every photo of a plant in fruit is marked as fruiting, so this shows when people reported it in fruit, not when it fruits.

What these results show

These results show when people recorded a species, not when or where it occurs. Missing weeks and low counts do not mean absence or scarcity, and counts are not abundance. Contributed records reflect where, when and what people chose to observe.
