Kettlehead in my backyard is right off exit 19 on 93 and you can scoot back on at exit 20 in tilton. Just throwin another one out there. https://kettleheadbrewing.com

I planted mine in early June of 2017. Then and 3 years later.

I have like 25-30 bees at any one time on my bee balm patch right now.

I’m tempted to purchase one of these. Flowering most of the summer with varying shades of different colors as they age...supposedly independent of any soil acidity amendments. https://www.wilsonbrosgardens.com/everlasting-revolution-hydrangea-3-gal.html

I think I had 63.3". I'll have to tally it up later. I've been lazy with my climo data averages this year. I have 61.1" in Kevinma's snow table, but I don't think I put the 2.2" from May in there.

Well I average similar and had 33".

Well I was looking at it differently...near even chances of snow without the bone chilling cold. Probably less of a likelihood of losing out versus locations to my south as well.

I think I’d rather take my chances with +1 up here.

They should’ve just filmed at Mark Motors.

There must be plenty of oaks without leaves in Tolland and Moosup.

Nope. Not fenced. But the deer get to other plants on the property. I have a patch of sweet clover growing tall that they love. They’ve nipped back my yellow birch and bocking 4 comfrey too.

Here’s my autumn blaze. Lookin’ good close to the run. It probably has some roots feeding into that endomycorrhizal fungi under my 1ft deep wood chips in the run. And yeah, there’s a little cloud iridescence above the trees. It looked more clearly like a rainbow in person.

Every once in awhile check them for signs of mold. At some point in the spring they may start germinating in the fridge or you can pull them when the chance of frost is gone and store the bag somewhere safe outside away from critters. Or you can pot them up or directly seed them even if they haven’t started germinating yet and they’ll do their thing eventually. You can directly seed some now too if you protect them from rodents above and below ground. Then they can cold stratify naturally all winter and then start rooting first thing in the spring when nature tells them they’re ready. These nut trees put out strong, deep taproots so direct seeding is really the way to go for the healthiest tree. They’ll be more drought resistant too and you don’t have to worry about transplant shock.

I was going to guess black walnut, but knew it once I saw the leaves/leaflets. I had been wanting to grow some, but they produce a chemical called juglone which is toxic to many other plants and trees. I'm torn. lol I guess I could grow some in tree pots and then decide later what to do with them.

103/-9 for a 1% RH at the Twenty Nine Palms ASOS right now. Sounds like a nice place.

A gall is what I was thinking...hence the thin and hollow question.

If I did western PA, Erie would be tempting. You have a straight shot south to visit Pit or could head NE for Buff or W for Cleveland. Right by the lake too.

Hardy pecan maybe? Doesn’t look round enough for English walnut. Is it thin and hollow?

Not sure where that pic is from but it’s old. https://m.facebook.com/ReaperArchery/photos/a.304480399637146/3067345740017251/?type=3&source=54

Tuesday. The ones with multiple leaflets are hickories. the others are persimmon and pin oak.

I have about 10 germinating. I'll have to find or take some pics. I would use one with an attachment, but I have a lot of those invasive buckthorn trees and some of them are 2-4" wide. I could probably rent one for the day and save a lot of money, but I like my own toys.

Nice. I got an autumn blaze from Lowes a few years ago on clearance. It was actually pruned aesthetically really well. The trunk has a slight hook that I've been trying to work out by tying the tree back to my chicken run, but other than that it's a great looking tree.

He could try one of those tree watering bags or rings like the tree gator. I’ve never used one myself since we have plenty of soil moisture.
