dendrite

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.

He just got a red maple so I figured he wanted something different for variety. How are tulip trees wrt roots? Those are fast growing and showy when they bloom.

I miss antiswampazz Scoot. I’m just over the monotony of rainless heat. Time for a change.

Wood stoves plz. Although I doubt anyone in NNE will have them on this week. Windows will be closed at night though.

It’s broken relative to the summer we had.

Definitely not done with the high heat, but I don’t think it ever looked like we were?

I can send you a crap load of red oak acorns. You really want big oaks dropping acorns and branches that close to your house? Initially they put down a deep tap root and growth can be slow the first few years. Then they start to take off. A mature tree can put out roots well beyond its drip line. Potted trees that normally put down a deep taproot tend to be hard to transplant since they don't get to set that taproot first. I think the tap root trees would be your best bet, preferably from seed, although I'm sure you don't want to wait that long. So any nut type tree basically...oak, black walnut, hardy pecan, shagbark or shellbark hickory, chestnut, etc. You mostly want to stay away from trees that really search out water...like elm, willow, silver maple, etc.

Finally a FFW up for those training cells in CT. BOX has some 7” pixels in there.

It was a nice summer, COVID and all. But weather wise it was boring. It was like running a cold winter by having 25/5 every day.

No rain and no cool downs. There were a few really hot days, but overall we got to the record with a continuous stream of AN days. No particular day really stands out. Boring.

Outflow is coming

Yeah BDL is doneski. 71F +TSRA

I haven't been paying attention. Is the next one a tie or does it break the record?

80F and S 12kt Plenty of time for them to recover though. I would enjoy the fail though.

Congrats BDL

They're getting TS right now and down to 86F.

It'll be funny if that storm messes up 90F at BDL today.

Today we'd be hearing droughtstein if Scoot hadn't gotten over an inch of rain this weekend. Being the only dry weenie is eating him inside.

NAM has raw U40s Thu afternoon here while BDL is pushing 80F+.

Bring a bucket and a mop for that wet-ass Massy
