A little update... Most of us on staff haven't had issues, but John just checked in and said he's had them and he hasn't been able to figure out the problem yet. "We're working on it"

Spores in the mulch?
-
The bottom of the tree is a little rough looking. Do these look like the start of cankers?
-
I guess Ill have to catch it in the spring to see if it flowers. I was going to clear a few beeches around it, but it's doing pretty well on its own so I won't go messing with it until I start seeing some signs of cankers.

Black cherry?

Cool stuff here. 1P1 (Plymouth, NH) data by the minute with data history. Wish all METAR sites had this. https://vortex.plymouth.edu/sfc/ply/k1p1.html

OK...I have me some backyard tree news and questions. Idk where to start. First of all, you all probably know how obsessed I’ve been with the american chestnut. Well when ID’ing trees I guess it pays to look up. I went back into the deeper woods near the edge of my property and found this ~30 footer back there. Needless to say I was excited. No sign of nuts though. Anyone have any idea if this looks like it’s close to flowering?

Back on your old phone or is that from a video game? Obviously glad no one was killed though. Lightning be scary.

I’m pretty sure EAB is around here...just not widespread yet. I’ve seen some totally dead ash trees here and in Concord.

RIP BML Down for 3 days now

It probably would've been any other winter, but yeah...97-98.

I have some pygmy bamboo if you want a rhizome. lol That stuff makes an aggressive lush ground cover 6-8” high.
-
Hrm. Maybe you weren't watering long/deep enough then? Were they very root bound in the pot?
-
I had a bunch of plants with yellowing leaves so I said F it and spread some fresh chicken poop around them. We green now. I'll just be saving the kale for the birds.

Absolutely brutal stretch, but we're doing our best to battle through it. 08/01 79.9 56.8 0.00 17 0.0 0 08/02 81.2 52.0 0.00 8 0.0 0 08/03 82.4 55.0 0.01 13 0.0 0 08/04 79.4 55.7 0.00 17 0.0 0 08/05 78.3 49.6 0.00 10 0.0 0 08/06 82.0 51.2 0.00 14 0.0 0 08/07 82.1 63.8 1.40 32 0.0 0 08/08 81.4 64.4 0.01 12 0.0 0 08/09 79.2 55.1 0.05 15 0.0 0 08/10 70.9 52.7 0.01 17 0.0 0 08/11 74.8 51.1 0.00 17 0.0 0 08/12 80.4 52.6 0.00 15 0.0 0

Still sound like a fungal root rot to me, but hard to tell. Got pics? I doubt the layer of sand is much of an issue. Most shrubs gets down into the sandy layer anyway. I think intense sun can burn the leaves, but if the whole thing is wilting and dying back is sounds like overwatering to me. Have you fertilized them? Do you have them mulched with wood chips? That can keep them more consistently moist, but new chips can rob them of nutrients as they initially compost down.

If I ever had a daughter my name of choice was Neve...that is until Lisa found out the meaning. Now it's nixed.

It's like when you look out in the deep extended at H5 anomalies and weak trough signals show up as neutral or slightly AN heights.
-
Well said ^^^^^^^^^^ 100% agree
-
First I saw this. Congrats on the la nina.
-
If it's due to injury and not fungal then you may need another treatment. A lot of trees heal over and recover. I know the tree company Gene uses has used a bark sealment around damaged areas of his horsechestnut tree.

You can try some mud packs on the cankers. That’s what they do to keep american chestnut trees with blight alive. https://www.acf.org/ma-ri/the-project/mudpacking-cankers/ There’s more pics and vids of the process online. I’d assume you’d have a better success rate than that with chestnuts.

Definitely looks a little weird during the dormant season without snowcover (April and Nov/Dec). And yeah, it’s not an overnight fix. I’d probably just overseed before the first snow. Come spring it’s ready to go once the glacier is gone. I’d stay away from planting zoysia via seed too.
-
I think I went through zoysia farm. Looks like they had trouble with their harvest and are out for the season. But here’s their instructions... https://www1.zoysiafarms.com/plantzoy.jsp I pretty much put mine in bare spots and didn’t have to do a large area. Now that it’s established I can take my own plugs from that if I want. They’d probably take off even faster than the ones I had shipped. This was fall 16 to early fall 18. It’s pretty much full coverage this summer.

I'll have to find the site where I got mine from.
