You mean new growth? It should have put out quite a bit by now. Did you plant it last year? Was it potted or bare root? If it was planted before last year, did you fertilize? With most of my potted trees…year 1 I hope they survive, year 2 they start to get their root footing, and year 3 they start to take off with their top growth.

I get them during summer on all of my red maples. It’s some kind of fungus. It doesn’t hurt the tree…just brown spots on the leaves. I think it’s called maple leaf tar spot.

Breezy too. Love it.

It’s a little shallow initially…they may have been indicating it getting hung up a bit in the high terrain, but you can clearly see it’s moving on vis.

84/58 now behind the front. Getting a little downslope heating initially with the wind shift as the CAA lags a bit.

FSO looks like an outlier, but dry air advection nonetheless.

Front is through at home with the dews starting to drop. 82/66

Or the 1911 heat wave.

Thankfully the wife's grandparents survived that.

Whoosh

66.7° A much needed 0.31” rain…not a lot, but it gets us by for a little bit. Good sleeping last night with the rain and window fans.

Little mesolow coming through.

NOWdata has BDL 19, BOS 13, PVD 10, ORH 3

Must pray harder.

Vaporized like snow pack on Christmas eve.

It got a lot worse and I think it’s fire blight. This is an empire which is supposed to have some resistance to that. Oops. It seems to be entering in via the flower blossoms and wiping out the tree from the new growth down to the branches. I tried pruning back all infected areas the best I could and used a clorox wipe to clean my pruners before each cut. If it does, it dies. The next attempt will be an enterprise apple tree to be my honeycrisp pollinator. Those are supposed to be very disease resistant…especially to fire blight. My honeycrisp looks fine though.

lol…it has to go from west to east. Patience grasshopper.

He quit last week. Very thin skin. That’s okay though…not everyone can handle gentle ribbing.

Beer?

Wtf is up with that little area of rain not moving in E VT between LEB and Claremont? It’s been Q-S for hours…almost looks like some kind of standing wave or blocked flow.

Or post on FB, twitter, or IG. Gah, the horror.

Low was a brief 68.4° when we went calm, but it was mostly lightly mixed and/or with variable clouds overnight. I woke up at 5am and it was 71°. Pretty gross out there, but it’s almost over. Just starting to get the dews here.
