I’m going to try growing some directly by seed in the backyard. I tried some small potted plants that were grown in large tree pots, but even those didn’t transplant well. I feel like anything with a huge taproot needs to be directly planted. The extra ones I’ll probably try planting out in the woods and see how many can grow with out getting dug up by rodents.

Check my edited post with link. Bark is a match too. Btw I still owe you shipping costs...haven’t forgotten.

I’m leaning black cherry. https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/prunus-serotina/

Nice before and after vid here.

But should u fertilize dead and/or dormant grass? I dropped one round in April and one in June. I have two more bags, bit stopped cause the lawn looked terrible and figured it would do nothing or stress it more No. I would probably do what Bob recommended. You could probably just broadcast it in after aerating. Weeeee

Okay...update on that plant I can’t figure out. Apparently one of the large trees out front is actually the parent tree to the others. It has berries that look like buckthorn, but I really don’t think that’s what it is. None of the smaller trees of it have berries. The large tree does have them higher up. All of the glossy buckthorn I have grows insane and puts out berries in the first year or two when they’re only a few feet high. The leaves look different too. I thought hackberry, but the leaves aren’t really a match. Does buckthorn grow as tall as the large tree in the picture is? Unknown tree a bit to the right of the large clump red oak. Bark of said tree in foregrund If you look closely you’ll see some of the branches from the tree with berries hanging off of them Comparison of leaves from a known glossy buckthorn and a branch from a smaller tree of the same species. Pics of common buckthorn look different from the leaves on the right as well.

Yeah...sounds like your grass, and even your weeds, are running out of “food”. You’d probably need to frequently fertilize it throughout the warm season to feed it without the addition of compost. It’s amazing what organic material can do to nutritionally starving plants. My plants that have been growing in composting wood chips for 2 years are growing amazing as the nutrients slowly feed in along with the beneficial fungi. I had a bunch of struggling potted plants that lit up after top dressing with that material and watering some fresh chicken manure into them. My front yard looks a little like yours. The zoysia out there is trying, but the soil out there is about as organic as a twinkie.

Hammered already?

Mid September is the perfect time to start going back into a torch pattern.

Well you have to be careful with those maps. MADIS isn't perfect and it's a lot worse near bodies of water like that. The analysis values may not be representative of the actual station's siting. The sudden jumps in accuracy when viewing the station over a long period of time is when MADIS is more useful. BOS could be technically be correct, but could have siting changes. We've talked about what happened with CON 3 years ago when the equipment checked out fine, but the problem was they laid out dark mulch around the ASOS. Obviously that's going to cause a problem. White rocks ended up being the agreed upon solution, but it goes to show you the data coming from these important climatological sites aren't perfect either. 0.01C accuracy doesn't mean shit when the siting is piss poor.

Kp 4 after being 6 earlier. Not gonna waste my time looking every 5 mins.

Can you make out pin oak vs black oak via these pics?

If people want PC look elsewhere. This is all I found pic wise for slippery vs american. The american definitely look more rounded versus the pointed slippery. I don't have a very good knack of differentiating trees via buds yet. I guess there's some differences in the seeds so I'll see what I find next spring. I found all of these trees along an almost permanent stream which osrt of confirms slippery elm based on the descriptions in this link as well. http://uptreeid.com/Species/elms.htm

GFS and Euro with about 2 days of 0C 850s up here post Dorian.

How many into Brooklyn?
