Sugarloaf1989 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I've seen rain forecasted for 11/12, but it's way out in fantasy land right now. I was hoping to go skiing with my pass at Mt Snow, but I doubt the will open that early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never noticed the few pin oaks nearby (in Farmington) to drop leaves earlier/later than the Northern red oaks, but the former usually have the best autumn reds of any of the oaks. Edit: The height-of-hornet-nest theory has failed, in my experience. They were 10-12' off the ground in fall 1982 and that was followed by my only Ft. Kent winter that failed to top 24" snow depth. The next year nests were so low that the skunks were destroying them, and that was followed by the winter when my 61" snow stake (still in use, btw) needed an addition. In late summer 1985 I saw a very large nest in a yellow birch sapling that had the poor tree bent into a "U", so each added generation of the insects would be lowering the snowfall prediction if the theory were accurate.

I will go with the tree Nazis assessment on the oaks, The downward branch growth is a PITA, The more i trim them up the trunk, The more the next group angle downward into the driveway, The oil delivery guy leaves me nasty notes to trim my tree...........lol, This season is the most acorns i have seen them drop though, But these trees have small ones, And i have found the hive theory to be a myth as well.

Small acorns also rule out Northern red, which have about the largest of any in the red oak group (as DIT will gladly testify.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only temporarily runs out after about 3-4 straight loads of laundry plus showers, but still, the more H2O the better. I thought we had an artesian until the well guys came to check it out. Turns out it's about a 40ft dug well. It doesn't help that I'm over 200ft up from the river either. We'll probably end up forking out over $10k eventually to get down 250ft, but I'd like to put that off as long as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
