dendrite

Who said this summer wasn’t hot? It just didn’t feel memorable...especially north of the pike. Sorry heat weenies.

Haven’t had CAA like this in 2+ months. Feels awesome.

Probably not...although if his neighborhood is lacking trees maybe it'd have a chance for awhile? I was thinking moreso the transgenic trees though. I have a 30ft+ tree in the back woods that I found amongst the numerous beech a couple years ago that looks very healthy and there's a bunch of oak around too. Oak can be a carrier of the blight even though it shows no effects from it. The trees I planted all came from GoNative which were saplings or germinated seeds from parents that have strong blight resistance. Scroll down here to see the parent trees... https://www.gonativetrees.com/american-chestnut/ Check out my post in the lawn thread about the transgenic tree going up for approval from the USDA. If it gets the OK from all of the agencies I'll get one of those trees and you'll start seeing them available at nurseries as well. Hopefully once it reaches maturity it'll be able to reproduce with one of my new trees on the one in the woods so that I'll be able to get 50% blight free nuts for germinating purposes.

Look at all of those 90° days at the STEM.

It’s over north of Fort Tauntondale.

I think my top 5 would be... 1. tulip poplar 2. sugar maple 3. american chestnut/black walnut/hickory/hardy pecan (I like edible nut trees) 4. yellow birch 5. black gum

Maybe move to VT? No sun there.

About to get raked.

BDL did it. You didn’t do anything at HFD yet. lol

Kill those bradford pears with fire. Those are very invasive...as bad as norway maples.

Damn...BDL did it. Congrats DIT and tarmac workers.

BDL 87F. lol if they mess it up today.

FIT 86 and CON 57. Upper back broken?

BDL up to 32C. Looking like they'll do it within the next hour.

Posted this in the lawn thread, but you could wait and see if one of these get approved by the USDA too. https://vimeopro.com/lss/2020-templeton-telly-awards-1

I've read the hybrid ones have more invasive roots. https://www.gurneys.com/product/tree-katsura I mean pick any tree and it's going to have negatives. They all drop seed and leaves.

They went NW and mixed out a bit...temp went up to 87 and dew down to 58. But bouncing around 85-86 now. I wonder if the 850 temps already hit peak and are slowly dropping.

Got this email from Dr. Powell, but here's the Tweet. For anyone hoping to get the transgenic American chestnut back into the wild click on some of the links and leave a comment. Hopefully the US govt will give it the green light.

It may grow more full and less upward if it's all by itself out front in his yard as well. I believe his neighborhood is pretty much tree free.

BDL 87 Congrats tarmac

They can be a little sappy and drop some branches at maturity, but I think it’ll be awhile before he has to worry about that. They’re less messy than catalpa although I’m growing both from seed right now.

76/68 Fractured

I’m not looking forward to winter either, but I’d at least like my windows open during the day. Closed up with AC isn’t much better.
