  1. He doesn’t need a rain gauge either. Money saved.
  2. Maybe install an ASOS? They like to install them over sand and gravel.
  3. Now I want a few of these in the yard. Holy taproot on those things. Poor Lisa.
  4. Now that I look at shagbark hickory pics, that's definitely what was on Rattlesnake. Those split hulls were littered all over the ground for much of our path to the top.
  5. Maybe tamarack would know. I know white walnut is native to NH. Could be some form of hickory too.
  6. Doesn't look like an american chestnut to me, but whatever it is, I remember seeing a lot of those on Rattlesnake Island back in the 90s. Walnut maybe?
  7. I just planted it in spots where the lawn continuously struggled. I can't remember offhand where I got my plugs from, but it may be an option for lavarock. Of course it isn't native and invasive so beware if you have neighbors. https://www1.zoysiafarms.com/allabout.jsp
  8. It goes dormant for me in October and doesn't really green up until May, but once it gets established it is thick and lush all summer. It's even plowing through the crabgrass and clover. When it's dormant it's very dead, but since we usually have snow cover most of the winter it doesn't really bother me. I just have to deal with seeing the brown in late fall and April.
  9. My zoysia has been thriving in my barren front yard during the FL-like stretch. That stuff will grow and spread in almost any sand or soil. The plugs I planted in the back corner of my garage/house has almost completely filled in after 3 years and is green and lush. Normally it looks like Yuma back there.
  10. What I mean is that the serrations look wider and more coarse. They seem to appear on each vein of the leaf with no smaller ones in between. The yellow birch has many serrations, larger at the veins and smaller, finer ones in between.
  11. I think I'll stick to beech. https://www.biodiversitygardening.com/american-beech.html
  12. The other possibility is a chinese chestnut hybrid. Although I have no idea how it would've gotten there. They've lived there since 2010 and never planted those.
  13. The serations on the edge of these leaves is a lot more coarse than a yellow birch. I think they tend to have a more round shape too. Usually there's 2 leaves with one bud...this is one leaf.
  14. At first I thought beech, but the mature beech trees they have there had significantly wider leaves. Maybe the sapling leaves just aren't developed as much.
  15. Chestnut experts... These were growing off the side of my parents’ driveway. I see no larger trees around that match this leaf style and these were the only 2 small ones like it. Chestnuts? They look quite a bit like mine from a nursery.
  16. At least you have some nice beach sand for when the oceans rise high enough.
  17. Hibernating like the wooly mammoths.
  18. Kevin would love my lawn. I let the clover flower and drop seed during the heat wave. Clover as far as the eye can see soon!
  19. Massabesic Lake COOP in Rockingham county had a low of -43°.
  20. I agree. I should've been more clear. I just meant the new growth has leaves full of multiple leaflets like an ash.
  21. Maybe pu$$y or grey willow? friggin word filter...lol
  22. Bark, branching, more leaves, size comparison to my hand. It seems ash-like with the leaflets.
  23. I’ll go out and get a few more pics. It’s growing out of the edge of the woods so it’s lanky and reaching for sun.
