> Years ago I planted a small grove of Mountain Ash trees, they were bare root stock, twigs. About 1/4 of those trees made it to maturity. This year there was a profusion of flowers and now the tree is heavy with berries.

This year the mountain ash skipped blooming. It’s Getting used to more sun maybe? Significant trim on close white pine branches this spring.

Lost a magnificent imo red oak last year. Cut it down, some oak issue lots of dead branches, 100 yo est. its canopy threatening the house and occupants. But in absense of its shade this year that quadrant of the yard is going insane with growth. Full on tall prairie over your head every sun loving seed that gets a toehold is shouting out I am here!

Totally out of control.

I  
Like it.
