spring buds

Seasonal plant emergence

Spring buds are the small growths that appear on trees and plants as winter ends, containing the beginnings of new leaves or flowers.

The phrase evokes renewal and the start of the growing season: The spring buds on the maple are just starting to open.

Spring buds can also refer to early spring vegetables or tea leaves harvested young.
