Sugarloaf1989 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Cold here the last 4 days, BDL now 0.6F below normal for April. Leafout has slowed down significantly. 28F here this morning, should be 40F. Next week has temperatures below freezing again, ugh. Less than 50 days to meteorological Summer.

I had a 60.0F on 3/20 although if you did ASOS 5-min averaging on my data my high would've been below 60F that day. That would push me back to 66.7F on 3/9 as my last day with a high above 60F. Just cheating and glancing at MOS, I could go without 60F for the entire extended period...

CoastalWx Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 We have Norway maples on their way to leaf out. Already small green leaves emerging. They accelerated so much up to first week of April. Things have slowed, but yesterday they popped again. It’s about right for these awful weeds of the forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 My forsythia is just trying to open up this morning. A lot of trees have swelling buds, but the apple is fairly dormant here as well. Here’s a peach tree question that maybe @tamarack would know...if I chop back the central leader of a peach tree right in half and leave one original branch below it for this season (for photosynthesis), what are the odds I’ll get decent regrowth branching near the top to get a nicely shaped tree? The tree looks hideous so I may take a shot at it anyway. I know this method isn’t preferred, but I have seen a few people on YT try this with younger fruit trees. The diameter of the leader where I plan to cut back is probably an inch and a half diameter. There was some growth out of it last year even without any pruning.

But of course that doesn’t mean a few nape days can’t be squeezed in. Just speaking of the overall look. Eventually these deep cold shots will relax over the next few weeks as climo takes over. All you need is a sunny day and it’s easy to get to normal highs with BN 850 temps. Of course the airmass coming this week is just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
