Fyi, this probably doesn’t mean anything or maybe it does..
Being infected by the #studentoffire disease makes it hard not to notice that most (but not all) hardwoods in my territory (North Redding and surrounding area) have finally dropped their foliage & i’m now seeing the oaks and other hardwood species setting new buds!? Thought i was crazy the other day but after observing more examples it is definitely happening and i’m not sure what to make of that and wondering what (if any) harbinger it may be. Seems VERY early but what do i kno… Dendrochronology senses are tingling!
Surely the smart folks in this forum will have thoughts/ideas or speculations at least?!
