tamarack Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 13 hours ago, Typhoon Tip said: Is it my mistake ( Tam' ? ) or isn't it early for even Norways? Obviously they're the most eager every spring but I think they are also more variable of all big stem species and can be triggered by a season's 'climate personality.' My sister was telling me that Norways are actually invasive to N/A. Either way, their florets give off a subtle sweet aroma that for me sparks a lot of nostalgia for some reason - ... I just can't remember her name or if she ever existed. LOL. Norway maple is native to Europe but is widely planted in urban settings, as it's relatively tolerant of conditions there. It's also brittle and subject to frost cracks in cold climates. It is very shade tolerant and an early-season seed producer, characteristics that give it an advantage over native species. Since silver maples and red maples here have swelled buds, it's no surprise about the Norways being early. The most recent month with BN temps here was November, so phenology is understandably early, which to me is suspect. Somehow my apple trees dodged the killing frost last May 18 but many NNE orchardists were less fortunate. We've had major damage from late frosts in 1999 and especially 2010; that one toasted all the ash and oak shoots and some on the maples, along with frying every apple blossom. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we don’t see another frost until autumn, chilly and damp weather is not good for your warm-weather plants. Putting in tomatoes, peppers, basil or anything in that group of vegetables is asking for trouble and disease, so hold off.” 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The green underbrush in the woods has all leafed out and even Red maples have little tiny green leaves . Really it’s only the Oaks that haven’t quite popped yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 one the more impressive forsythia bloom years I can recall in quite a long time. Dense displays with vivid pop. And it's not just one or two yards... it's everywhere between Ayer and Auburn in Middlesex arguing for something 'pheno-responsive' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
