klw Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 43 minutes ago, Ginx snewx said: What have you got against Norway Many states (including Connecticut) consider them to be an invasive species: https://cipwg.uconn.edu/norway-maple/ Quote Norway maple has been planted extensively as an ornamental tree and is now found invading natural areas where it often outcompetes native sugar and red maples and other deciduous trees. It has a rounded crown of dense foliage, and gray or brown bark that becomes rough and furrowed into narrow ridges as the tree ages. Its leaves typically remain green longer into the fall than other maples in Connecticut, and then turn yellow. The popular “crimson” varieties have deep maroon leaves throughout the growing season. Norway maple can be distinguished from other maples by the milky sap exuded from the end of leafstalks when they are broken off. Also, the seeds of Norway maple are flatter than seeds of sugar or red maple. Seedlings and saplings are shade tolerant and can quickly dominate the forest understory. It is especially a concern in sugaring country. https://vtinvasives.org/invasive/norway-maple Quote ECOLOGICAL THREAT Unlike native tree species, Norway maple hosts very few native caterpillars, reducing an important food source for bird populations Native mammals do not recognize Norway maple seeds as a food source, further reducing native tree populations. Norway maple (Acer platanoides) provides breeding habitat for another highly invasive species, the Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis), an insect that threatens to significantly reduce North American hardwood forest stands. Research shows female beetles will live longer and produce more fertile eggs on non-native Norway maples than on native red maples (Acer rubrum). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely an invasive species. Haven't seen the Acer Rubrum reference college lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Looks like a dramatic month of fortune reversals. both winter the summer enthusiast get bonuses before month’s end. snow chances this week shouldn’t be shocking relative to this pattern look. Nor should the plausible climate correction pattern flip after mid month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stick with window units just because I hate home AC. We use it during heat waves but hours of AC makes me feel like shit. That’s why in BN summers I never even install. I do use it in the car though when necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
