“An Early Spring” according to the Maples

A few days ago, on January 20th, I went out to check Andy’s trees in the Morristown, NJ, area. The Crocuses were already an inch tall.  Even though severe cold was forecast in the immediate future, the trees told me that the weather would be warming up by about February 4th. So, the trees are saying that there will be an early Spring.

Specifically, the Maples said that they would  be barely starting to push up sap on January 24th.

So, here it is, January 24th!  Out I went.  Temperature is 23 degrees with a wind-chill factor of about 4 degrees.

Maple in Rumson,NJ

My treatment should help strengthen the buds to open better and increase survival rate. Better bud survival should also help produce more leaves needed for food (sugar) production. More leaves and food production should help with new growth. It should also help pull the circulation in the tree to keep it open since it was previously blocked. New leaves and new growth should help the tree with it’s goals to fill in, and be a beautiful centerpiece.
