CoastalWx Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I have a Japanese maple (forget the name but it’s quite valuable) that I think suffered from Stein last year. I noticed the leafout this year was rather thin. I also noticed a ton of helicopter seeds as well on the branches. Is this something normal, or do trees do this when they are unhealthy and close to dying? I just hope it’s a phase and it comes back next year.

I would be giving it a good amount of water if i were you. I am sure @tamarackwill be around to give you real advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure @tamarackwill be around to give you real advice That's good advice. Also, some maples (red maple in particular) will have a huge and early seed crop, with the full foliage only filling out after most of the whirlygigs have departed. I'm not very knowledgeable on Japanese maples and their phenology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Had to replant most of what I put into the ground on May 29 - foolishly thought the next few days would be warm enough to give the seeds a big push. May 30-June 2 avg high was 82 peaking at 89, about as expected. Unfortunately, the avg highs of the 13 days since was 61 and all but one had rain. Replanted cukes, spag. squash, carrots (that was a surprise) and the 1st row of green beans failed; out of 40 seeds planted, one came up. 2nd row was planted Monday - we prefer beans fresh and uncooked, so a row per week into early July is the strategy. Beets, arugula, pac choi were okay and the tomatoes/peppers within the black plastic area are holding their own but not much more than that. Hoping against a 2009 redux. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 About 1/4 of my tomato plants have started showing early blight lesions in the past day or two, in spite of my usual pruning regime and weekly Daconil treatments. Usually I can make it to July before foliar diseases show up. It'd be hard to invent a more favorable weather pattern for continued disease pressure than the one coming up.

dryslot Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 The only, And i mean only good thing this June weather has been good for is germinating grass seed, I still need to address that back corner when it dries out enough to clear the dead arbors out of there and trim back those tree branches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, let's just say I have some friends who can hear a mouse fart plus a 6 foot fence. I certainly don't expect any trouble, shit everyone is growing now, making edibles, tinctures. Pretty awesome setups people have. Year round especially with auto blooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 @tamarack @dendrite or others. are oak trees “water seeking”. I want to get an oak tree for the front yard, as its completely sun, all the time. Will this be okay with my well in the area? would you go with another tree?

Weeping Willows and such suck up lots of water I believe. My area has lots of oaks and it’s quite rocky. Like any tree it will need water, but I don’t think your well will suffer at all. Water will seep into the well from all areas. I don’t think one tree will hurt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Oaks are not very water seeking, Poplars are, Willows are, Can be a lot of maintenance, Had a weeping one growing up and they get quite big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks as though they die at the root ball, because when the fall over, the root ball is very shallow, and there are hardly any visible roots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
