Tree watch.

I have been over to Skipton today and on the way over I was looking out for Oak trees...and believe it or not, they all appear to be in the same state of suspended animation as those on Broadway...so maybe there is hope for them yet.
usually when I get up in the mornings......I,m in suspended animation....wonder if I,m an oak tree........
Hang on in there, Accy, there's still hope. The oak trees here aren't in bud yet either. Neither are the 2 little ones I'm bonsaiing in my garden.
I noticed the ash trees in the field opposite my house are budding. The old saying is, "Oak before ash, only a splash. Ash before oak, we're in for a soak." It's supposed to mean a wet Summer. So what else is new?

Whats the going rate for seven twenty foot high oak trees.
[By the way Katex if my power explodes I promise not to wipe it on the curtains.]
Just off to find my screenie wipes, was not wise reading that whilst drinking coffee
Had a nosey at one of the trees today and the branches are still green under the bark so there is hope for them yet! suspect they are just as fed up of this rubbish weather as we are!
I checked out the trees in passing today and am quite confident that they are all healthy and alive. Each one has healthy buds, they may not be much this year but if they can survive the vandals I think they would look quite nice next June.
They will eventually become too large for Broadway but as they are quite slow growing, most of us (well, me anyway) will be tree manure ourselves by the time this happens

It does depend on if they get watered this summer, if they don't even if they bud, they won't survive. Everyone of our trees has died. There was talk of replacing them with metal trees with leaves but nothing came of that, latest was that allan lloyd was going to pay for them to be replaced, but I think he's scared he might release too many moths.
Climate plays a deciding role when determining the appropriate planting time. Newly planted trees do best when exposed to moderate temperature and rainfall and they need time to root and acclimatize before the onset of intense heat and dryness of summer or the freezing temperatures of winter.
Spring and early fall, therefore, are generally the best planting seasons (depending on your location) with spring preferred over fall in the more northerly latitudes. In the southern United States, however, which does not experience an intense winter, planting can take place during the winter months.
So minus six, on a cold November day, was probably not the wisest time to plant them.

We should get that woman back up here. the one who's programme there was a thread on here a couple of months back. she was originally from Rishton.... her name escapes me and I'm too damn lazy to look back through the old threads!!!
