Description
This image was taken on 17th May, 2021 in what will probably be known as the wettest May on record. It is part of my “season tree” project, where I am recording the same tree and field over different seasons. I was pleased to note that Rapeseed had been planted in the adjacent fields. Rapeseed is a fairly common crop in Northamptonshire and really brightens up the countryside. Here is some more information about this plant.
Rapeseed (Brassica napus subsp. napus) is a bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae (mustard or cabbage family), cultivated mainly for its oil-rich seed, which naturally contains appreciable amounts of erucic acid. Canola are a group of rapeseed cultivars which were bred to have very low levels of erucic acid and are especially prized for use for human and animal food. Rapeseed is the third-largest source of vegetable oil and second-largest source of protein meal in the world.
