At this moment, which is your favorite tree? (Appreciate Autumn, you crap bags)

[WillieWatanabe]

does everyone else's Lilacs look like crap? Lot of die off.

I was out for a jog yesterday and saw some that were blooming again for some reason.

feel like they've been acting funny for the last several years.

Aspens are almost there, guys.  Another week or so and it will be glorious.  Speaking of glorious, it was 48F at the trailhead after the run. 






And a couple Bigtooth Maples popping up high

The oak trees here in Smallville are dropping a massive crop of massive acorns. The oaks remind me of the .gif of the dog showing off his huge balls.

every few years they have a mast year where they will carpet bomb your ass with like 5x the normal amount.  idk why, possibly horny?

anyway, it happened to me in my first year of living in my current home and I didn’t know about mast years back then.  why so many acorns?  shop vac is the only answer.

Did you grind them up and make acorn stew?

No but there is this sort of acorn grease on the streets where mats of acorns get crushed by passing cars.
I think the years where there is a large mast has something to do with weather? Like the oak decides that this is going to be an awesome year for spreading its seed and then prepares for a massive acorn load in the fall. The internet says that some oak species get the cues for making a mast 18 months before the acorns drop!

I do the same thing with my seed.

Hedge apples are falling here, and I think I threw out my arm throwing them at a tree because my kids thought it was hilarious to see them splat. Maybe a signs of getting old thread post instead

Hedge trees are very interesting trees. The hedge balls are really large and strange. I have lots of good memories of "cutting hedge" for firewood and fenceposts with Dad and a neighbor on Saturdays during the winter.

Got an early start today to catch that morning glow.  Amazing to see the colors slowly show themselves as the sun came up and then… jackpot!
