5/ Penny's peach tree is in distress. Not sure what is going on. We just had a week of very heavy rain and before that a week of extreme heat which we are back to. :(
Too much water, not enough water, heat, fungus?
The Peach leaf curl makes me think fungus.... You can tell it, esp in image 2
Really would like some thoughts... #Trees #Peach #Gardening #tree #Dendrology #xylology

USC: USC researchers develop low-cost AI tool to help cities map urban tree canopy. “The USC-developed tool combines free aerial imagery with AI to create detailed tree canopy maps without costly lidar surveys, which use lasers to produce highly detailed 3D landscape maps, or commercial satellite imagery that many existing systems require. The technology could help communities make smarter, […]

We've had so much rain over the last few weeks - total, not single huge deluges like Edmonton - that the city hasn't even needed to fill the tree-diapers on the more-recently-planted trees.
Is there a word for those things? Diaper is kinda the opposite of what they're intended to do.

Utah State University: Pine Needles Predict Air Quality? USU Researcher Says Yes. “Professor Randy Martin from the Utah Water Research Laboratory has used pine needles as passive air quality samplers in a recent study comparing urban air quality in Rose Park and Spanish Fork, Utah. Many compounds in the air, such as pesticides, are attracted to the fats on the surface of pine needles. Martin […]

Mongabay: New database captures urban tree diversity. “These are trees lining pavements, planted in orchards and in farm woodlots. Little is known, however, about the diversity of these trees — particularly in rapidly urbanising regions at risk of developing urban heat island effects in the summer. A new database capturing India’s urban tree diversity attempts to bridge this gap.”

New York Groove: Take inspiration from ‘70s New Yorkers and get really into trees this spring. “In 1976, a group of volunteers and block associations got together, taught themselves how to prune branches and fertilize tree beds, and told the city they would take over maintaining their local street trees…. That effort grew into the organization Trees New York, and its signature Citizen […]

don’t conflate evergreen and deciduous trees with angiosperms (or, flowering trees) and conifers (or, cone-bearing) trees—at least in the temperate north.
american holly is a great example: it is a flowering evergreen tree

Ok, #botany and #dendrology people, could I ask you for verification of the claims made in this video, about the spiral path of juices traveling through a tree?
Honestly I love Andrew Millison #permaculture videos but this video... This video triggers my bullshit detector. There's nothing outrageous here but it just gives this cultist vibe of hidden symbolism. I would really hate it if it turned out permaculture was bs. I really want it not to be.

It's interesting to me that the cherry tree is more leafed out than blooming. I guess all the rain and warmer temps over the winter has something to do with it? #dendrology #spring2025 #trees #color #swva #springinvirginina
