Please remember to water…correctly!

Water once per week, one inch per week, under the entire branch spread, in the absence of rain, May through November. Either rainfall or your watering should equal the one inch per week. Do not water if the soil is already moist. Put out a sprinkler and a straight sided soup can or rain gauge and measure one inch per week. Measure the rainfall which falls in your yard. Your trees don’t care what fell at the airport!

If burlap was left on new trees, it will repel water and the tree or shrub may die. Be sure burlap and twine are removed from the top of all root balls. If your landscaper disagrees, refer him or her to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) industry standard for installation of landscape plants.

To the extent possible recycle fallen leaves back into the soil around the trees and maintain mulch around the trees to a radius of at least 3-5 feet. Keep mulch off trunks. Use a coarse textured mulch. Avoid triple shredded mulch. Aged arborist wood chips, mulched and composted leaves, pine bark, and pine straw are all good. Very finely ground mulches such as triple ground hardwood mulch are not beneficial and may inhibit moisture and oxygen exchange.

Meteorological Versus Astronomical Seasons

Spring: March 1-May 31; Summer: June 1-August 31; Fall: September 1-November 30; Winter: December 1-February 28 (29)

 

You may have noticed that Arbor Doctor, meteorologists and climatologists define seasons differently from “regular” or astronomical spring, summer, fall, and winter. So, why do  meteorological and astronomical seasons begin and end at different times? Climatologically, the period July 14-21, the mid-point of meteorological summer, is the hottest week of the year and the period January 14-21, the mid-point of meteorological winter, is the coldest week of the year over much of the continental US including the Ohio valley.

Nearly half the country has had its coldest day by the first day of calendar winter. That is why meteorological winter makes the most sense.

Outbreak Of The Century: 1974 Super Outbreak– most notable tornadoes and their lasting impacts

The only tornado I have personally viewed was tornado 43 in the 1974 Super Outbreak, the Sayler Park, OH (Cincinnati) F5. I was in 3rd grade at the time and while I was not actually in the tornado the sounding of the air raid sirens (we did not have tornado sirens at the time), the ominous thunder in the approaching supercell, finding small debris mixed with golf ball size hail which fell 10 minutes before the tornado came into view from our house, and simply not knowing the bigger picture since our power went out and this was decades before cell phones, all added a level of mystery and terror to the whole event. We had no idea of the scope of the outbreak until hours later. Our community was shaken terribly and it left scars which took many years to heal. Because the air raid sirens were sounded, the Sayler Park F5, which traveled through populated areas, took only 5 lives.
