iceman56 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Low was 52.5 degrees, lol. We haven't even made up to that yet here in NW Chesco. 51.6 currently with DP's running in the low 30's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmorninglight Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 With regard to pine barrens versus the highlands, I believe that the dominant deciduous tree in the pines is oak, which leafs out late and the proximity to the cold ocean really account for the difference.

Isotherm Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Ray, if you look at the description on this site and compare it to your picture, I think that might be the blackjack oak tree. One of the most common deciduous type trees in the barrens, well adapted to nutrient poor, sandy soils, and tend to have skinnier trunks and shorter overall than red/white oaks. I don't think those are white oaks. Maybe the blackjack oak takes longer to leaf out due to a combination of sandy, acidic soils, and the colder overnights as well. But I tend to think the species has much more to do with it than the temperatures. Areas all the way up in Vermont are leafing out more than those pictures you posted.

Agree it's oak, but my guess is it's the blackjack oak, which seems to leaf out later than the usual red/white oaks around here which are just about fully leafed out.

Isotherm Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 http://www.pinelandsalliance.org/ecology/plants/trees/ Blackjack oak or post oak maybe? Says the flowering period is early to mid may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 http://www.pinelandsalliance.org/ecology/plants/trees/ Blackjack oak or post oak maybe? Says the flowering period is early to mid may. 100% sure this is White Oak. Anyway, plenty of other oaks besides those in the pines. And all species were significantly further ahead in Ramapo than in Byrne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the fall leaf drop has similar differences in timing, though my guess would be it's much less significant than in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
