The operator thought the spray was 24d, gly, and something called sonic.

They were burning down a field to get ready for beans — glyphosate maybe? Can trees recover? What about older trees? Can trees that survive build up an immunity? They’ve been spraying for years and I’ve never had a problem. Since they went away from plane spraying anyway.

That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking!

The final round finally got us overnight, better late than never. Ended up with 1.8". Not a pond filler, but we'll take it. Still need real runoff before summer, or it's gonna be really bad for my in-laws. They still have 4 large ponds that are extremely low and will dry this summer if something...

This line of storms stretches through 3 states; guess where the line ends??? Notice the “flood warning” just to cruelly rub it in…

I’ve been watering once every five days, and about a quart of water on the entire tray. I guess I’ll let them dry out completely. There is NOTHING easy about this. It’s incredibly frustrating.

We CANNOT FREAKING catch a break!!!!!!!! Two freaking years of this crap, storm after storm after storm…… The dry line is right on top of us literally, the storms are riding it bringing torrential rainfall within 30 miles and NOTHING on us.

That’s possible, but the field edge is a good 30 yards from the tree. I didn’t see any evidence on surrounding native vegetation.

Several of the chestnuts look like they’ve attempted to put on some top growth, but shortly after getting out of the ground, they seem to just give out and die. This happened to several nuts last year, and the failed shoots would sometimes be replaced by another. Is this normal, or am I doing...

We’ve obviously been fighting drought, which you all know I’ve documented quite well lol. Is this oak doing okay? Its leaves look a little different than the others. I didn’t label these oaks, so I’m not sure which variety it is.

This silver/red hybrid maple in my folks yard appears to have gotten a strong dose of sun scald this past winter. Am I right on this diagnosis? If so, at what point is a tree no longer in danger? I would have thought a tree this big would not have been susceptible. It is now fully leafed out btw.

Not a drop today, meteorologists are so inept. How can they be so bad at their jobs? I’m guessing tomorrow will be more of the same.

Well, the rain wasn’t quite as widespread as I thought, which I should be used to by now. We got 1.5” here at the house; 13 miles away at the farm we got less than a quarter. :(

Not sure about the floods as of yet, but there is a beautiful rain out today. Some of those spring thunder showers you dream about.

The “floods” are supposed to begin today. We’ll see…..

Wow, I can’t even imagine trying to baby a property through drought while dealing with that kind of distance. My hat’s off to you.

Thank you, I didn't scroll down far enough, like you said. After some description reading the chestnut crab looks perfect! I have a reminder set to get these ordered in August.

How far away is your property from your home?

We are supposed to get rain beginning tomorrow for several days. We’re praying the forecast is right! How much should you average annually up that way?

Thanks, I sent him an email.
