Unfortunately, there were not many big updates I can provide on my young red maple tree. While home for spring break in New York, I witnessed an entire swamp of red maple trees already beginning to bloom. This gave me false hope for this tree once I returned to Burlington. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More budding was seen on more branches of my tree, but none are yet in bloom. This makes sense since it only just began to warm up in Vermont, where all snow was melted and it was warm and sunny on the New York red maple swamp. This gives me something to look forward to in my next update!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I didn’t have much to report on phenologically, I took some time to explore my tree and the environment it’s in. This red maple is very young and in a buffer area between a forest edge and deeper woodland. Not much animal life can be detected, but trees are not as dense in this area and many signs of human activity can be seen. There is also a steep drop in elevation located right next to the spot my tree is in, with a small stream in the deepest point of the depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My tree is quite small in diameter with a twisty trunk, which makes sense for the area that it’s in.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
