See what -10F (-23C) does to Pinus roxburghii, Araucaria angustif
Comments (28)Hi, thanks for your interest!!.. Araucaria angustifolia, Pinus strobiformis (Jalisco) and Pinus maximinoii didn't make it... cedrus deodara were just fine, they looked like Larix by late April, but doing well. surprisingly Cupressus benthamii, Cupressus lindleyii, Pinus maximartinezii, Pinus patula and Pinus nelsonii did just fine, some damage, but back on track. Pinus roxburghii is a different story, it started sending new growth by May, not from the buds, as they were frozen. There was juvenile foliage in the bottom 2/3 of the tree, with the top dead. Then, branches started to die throught the year, one by one, until it got to the botton 1/3. This year the buds started to swell early, but then we got 4" of snow in late March and -14C, which killed all the buds and the leaves. We'll see if it survives, but its future doesn't look promising....... osprey...See MoreUMass Extension Landscape Message December 7, 2012
Comments (1)That is consistent with my observations down here in SE Mass. I saw my first moths after Thanksgiving but the numbers so far appear to be very low. Normally when driving on mild evenings I see large numbers of moths in my headlights, similar to the look of lots of snowflakes. But not this year...very sparse. I hope that holds true. I often think that what we need is a wicked cold December with deep snow...maybe after a Thanksgiving blizzard. Remember the cold December of 1989? That was one of the coldest months in the 20th century in New England! Just kill them all with anomalous early cold. But it just seems like we are always super mild until Jan 1. And instead mother nature is trying to kill them with anomalous heat (last March)....See MoreA great summer is about to get better!
Comments (2)Sounds like you are getting great weather. Finally some rain is really in the forecast. Heres my 9 day forecast, also looking very good for growth! Jul 13....Scattered T'storms....85/75 Jul 14....Scattered T'storms....86/75 Jul 15....Partly Cloudy....92/76 Jul 16....Parlty Cloudy....93/78 Jul 17....Scattered T'storms....89/72 Jul 18....Partly Cloudy....91/73 Jul 19....Partly Cloudy....88/74 Jul 20....Scattered T'storms....87/74 Jul 21....Partly Cloudy....90/74 Very nice forecast here and if we actually do get rain every day its forecasted, it might actually take us out of this drought. Its been humid, but rain has been harder to find. Its raining a little now though so thats good! Good luck -Alex...See MoreEl Nina Impact?
Comments (7)Posted by sinfonian U:8b A:2 S:5 (SeaWA) (My Page) on Tue, Feb 24, 09 at 11:16 Great, so another crappy summer in the PNW. Thank goodness I got early variety tomatoes so something may grow. It should level out by early summer, and start the switch to El Nino by the end of the year. It seems they are saying that by August we should start to see the effects of level off, and that next year will really suck as far as heat and drought from El Nino! Oh..and for some stupid reason I put El Nina, when it should have been La Nina. My compadre would be horrified in my spanish!...See More41 North (Zone 7a/b, NE, coastal)
