HoarfrostHubb Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 Did a 13 mile bike ride on the Winchendon/Gardner trail. A bit moist after the rain this morning but dews are dropping and there was a stiff wind. That helped keep the bugs at bay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisrotary12 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Listening to the Sports Hub picking up lunch today. Heard a promotion for East Coast Metal Roofing. If it touches 100 F on Labor Day at Logan, your purchase is free.......had to chuckle at that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always laugh when I see those promotions I never checked in on that furniture offer - we're not in need of new stuff - and wondered whether "sweep" meant that another 2004 or 2007 would count but 2013 and 2018 would not.

I was thinking zero chance, but to be fair it hit 102 on 9/7/1881... that is crazy. Also hit a 100 on 9/2/53. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing they have video to present the car insurance adjuster with or the negligence case. Read an article about the incident that was posted on FB. The explosion was recorded on the family's security cam, the security company then contacted the homeowner to check that folks were all right, a neighbor (?) picked up the video and put on Twitter and away we go! Turns out there were thankfully no injuries and amazingly, that car wasn't damaged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 @tamarack @dendrite what could have caused this huge gash on my cherry tree? Is this going to be an issue long term? Is there anything I can do about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this going to be an issue long term? Is there anything I can do about it? Is that facing the southwest quadrant? Did it start in the spring? If so it looks like southwest injury. I’d let it callous and heal on its own. Painting the bark white before winter helps that. Basically the juices get flowing on the S-W side during sunny, warm stretches in late winter and then harder freezes start to split it. The white paint reflects the sun.

Is this going to be an issue long term? Is there anything I can do about it? Can't tell if that was a physical injury - tree got whacked by something during bark-peeling season (May-June) or whether it's a fungal infection, though I suspect the latter. Have you had any falling limbs, or anything, that could've caused the wound? If it's fungus, there are fungicides available at nurseries and other places like Agway. One would apply the chemical now, and perhaps wait until after several hard freezes this fall and then (carefully) scrape it down to healthy wood. Waiting for the freezes ensures that ambient fungal spore levels are low to nil, and the wood will dry over the winter, leaving a hostile substrate for next year's spores. Experienced nursery staff would be good people to consult. Edit: And/or what Dendrite posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take a look at the fungus stuff just to be safe. the tree appears to be healthy…. Fully leafed out, and putting out good new growth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that issue on a sugar maple, about 10 years old at the time, a couple years ago. It’s has since healed over nicely with no apparent lasting issues.
