CoastalWx Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Do any of you know if land scape companies will come to your yard to pick up wood and give $$ money for it? My parents have cord and cords of hardwood down from the last few years. I think they can get decent money for it...but I have no idea if anyone will pick it up.

Easily 6 cord down in 4 acres. This is just near the edge of the lawn. Just so much crap down. I think once Feb 2013 knocked a lot of the pines down...all these other trees have nothing to lean on and are just crashing and snapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I didn't think there were azaleas that cold hardy that could survive up in your part of Maine? Do they actually flower? There are azalea relatives growing wild in Maine bogs, though I don't know if the ones we planted are closely related to them;l they did come from a local nursery, where folks ought to know what works. Not much for flowers last year, but they had been planted in late summer 2014 and that first winter was very cold. This summer should tell us how well they can bloom here.

I believe a tree company would take it but for free. My parents did that a couple of time as they went to all pellet stoves now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerz_nailz Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I know it's a little early, but last year I missed the rain and had to water after dimension went down. When the wind dies down a bit I'm going to do it this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Afte I dropped the starter fert 2 weeks ago and then the snow and rains.lawn is looking really nice.

backedgeapproaching Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 After 3.04" of precip the first 12 days of April and the upcoming sunny stretch, expecting big greenup here locally by the weekend I would think. Only green lawns now are the higher end lawns that put down a fall/winterizer fert app last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Could use rain for seeding too and working in fert. Getting a quote to spray trees from those terrible winter months. I don't care if it's 300 bucks...it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Gypsy moths are hit or miss. Haven't experienced back to back bad years myself. That's been the case since the polyhedral virus became well established nearly 20 years ago - the early 1990s outbreak ended well short of the catastrophic ones in the early 1970s and early 1980s. One can hope that the ecosystem and gypsy moth have stabilized such that major outbreaks are very unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 What do you make of all the weird forsythia blooms with only the far bottom yellow and the top 2/3 no blooms? I think you might have even mentioned it, but probably the bottoms protected by snow and the top exposed and possibly winter kill. They may have been doomed by that early April cold shot where it was single digits for lows in many spots because they had already started budding or maybe even close to flowering in some spots. There are different varieties of forsythia and some are more cold hardy than others actually, so that could be a factor too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The -17.4 was the coldest it's ever been here, so maybe that is what it was. They were blooming before that snow, cold snap earlier this month. So that didn't effect them .

I've had deer be hungry enough to eat forsythia here in the past but your photo shows that it wasn't from the deer if you have any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 If -17F in mid winter destroyed forsythia there'd be none growing in most of NH. I agree with those that say it was the April cold shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
