Yes, we are Sunset 3B here.... The sunshine on most days and temps in summer is the reason so much agriculture grows successfully here. Of course, they irrigate. I am surprised Wenatchee is the same zone as us, but I guess it doesn't take into account the amount of snowfall they get (They are probably the -15f extreme.. we are more like -5f.) RE: the suitability of the trees I listed, The Thornless Honeylocust seems to thrive here, it does well in alkaline soil and is drought tolerant. As a prairie tree, it thrives in full sun. I have noticed many honeylocusts in yards that do not irrigate, growing just fine... The list of negatives of the tree is pretty short, and it seems very adaptable to our conditions. Linden -- RE: irrigating, I don't know. We will have some lawn on the property, so a tree/trees in that area would get more water. Linden tolerates alkaline soil and has small leaves... Thus, it seemed to be an *option.* ash -- I still have to go to our local extension office.. I will ask them about borers here. Ash also tolerates alkaline soil and was another option for my lawn area. If the borers are that bad here, I won't consider it.

There have been many frosts here already. We're into normal November weather - gray, dark, cold, and very wet. No green except the evergreens trees. Absolute misery, the most depressing month of the year. The only fall color left is the larches, in yellow, and even most of those have already lost their needles. Wish I could afford to take off to a more hospitable climate for the month. December usually brings snow, so it's not quite as dark and gray. Perennials are all transplanted into the areas they'll stay in. All I have left to do is to dig up maybe 5 dozen more of the most desirable glads (I've been known to do this in the cold rain because there isn't any other kind of weather this time of year), plant a few small-but-might-bloom Oriental lily bulbs (I just can't stand to throw them away) in the hoophouse raised bed (in the warm, covered hoophouse, thank goodness!) and then take the plastic off the hoophouse for the winter and compost the used shavings from its floor. That has to be done before we get much snow - the hoophouse isn't designed to carry a snow load. Then it'll be on to catalog shopping and dreaming. No hurry for that this year, hobby catalog companies don't run out of the most desirable seed as fast as commercial ones do. I have to call my main suppliers and ask for the hobby catalog instead of the commercial one. Germania has no hobby catalog and unfortunately doesn't sell much of anything in small quantities, and of course it has the best selection. I tried to tell myself I don't need to order anything at all, since I'm going from high volume to much lower, but I don't think I'm immune to all the marvelous new things that come along. I'll end up ordering a few new seeds, I'm sure, but that's all. I hope. Jeanne

October Glory AND Autumn Blaze won't turn red
Q
Comments (8)
"We have had very warm winters lately so Im wondering if that effected them." Shouldn't have anything to do with it. Both are heavily planted and grow well here and generally get great fall color and we have much milder winters than you ever get in Ohio! But fall color is highly dependent on climate and weather issues as well as tree genetics. Drought as well as excessive rainfall and too warm temps late into the season can negatively impact fall color development. btw, both are not Acer rubrum cultivars. 'October Glory' is but 'Autumn Blaze' is a Freeman maple, a hybrid between red and silver maples.

October Glory or Autumn Blaze?
Q
Comments (9)
I have an October Glory and 2 Red Sunset Maples. I love all of them, as per my username. lol I absolutely adore my October Glory. I have had NO problems with crack issues at all. I wrap the trunks up to the branch line though with tree wrap right before Thanksgiving and they all do just great. We put a 6 foot hardware cloth fence around them to keep the rabbits out. We usually have 4 feet of snow in our backyard all winter long, and the rabbits out here are numerous as are deer. Even found a chipmunk the other day. First chipmunk we've ever seen out here in the almost 10 years we've lived here. To get back to the trees, my October Glory grew 2 1/2 feet this spring and summer. Amazing! The fall color of the Red Sunsets are so gorgeous you wouldn't believe it. We had just planted our Red Sunsets last fall so they grew less than a foot this year, but that's what our October Glory did the first year of planting too. You would adore having an October Glory, the tree is beautiful. I love the shape and they grow so fast if you water them well. They like their feet wet for sure. All my trees are on the SE part of my property and get full sun all day long. Never had a problem with cracking or anything.
