Promised a barbie doll and instead got a baseball glove? We had a cloudy week. How dry could the soil have been? Everything is getting root rot, blight, whatever the hell it is. Let that shit dry a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they left it in the ground a few too many winters and the freeze-thaws tore the wire. Mine was stuck around 200 or not reading at all and when I pulled it out this spring it was damaged. Anyway, I replaced it. I’ve had half the rain Kev has had this month and I’m reading 5cb this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little too soil dryness is ok as long as soil 1” or deeper has moisture. I will say I cut down a dying tree a couple years ago and took a peek at the rings. I could easily pick out those wet years from the mid 2000s through the early 2010s. The biggest growth was what I assumed to be 2009 which was obviously a cool sog fest through spring and into July. So maybe as long as there is moisture deep that’s all that matters and the roots will spread every which way anyway? A few of those rings were like 3x wider than others (looked like the thin ones were late 90s). But yeah, my chestnut trees don’t seem to like “wet feet” and they’re showing some signs of rot based on the new growth wilting up. The low spots in the back have standing water after the additional 0.29” yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if it’s really dry you have to water regardless, but if you only encourage watering the top soil, the roots will be shallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
