This week at my phenology site I observed different tree species which were a bit difficult to determine due to their lack of leaves and overall bareness in the cold. One tree that I found from our list was a Northern Red Oak. I uploaded this tree to INaturalist annotating the phenological phase with no evidence of flowering, fruiting, or budding. I am hoping that as the snow melts, and the temperatures rise as Spring goes on I will see big changes in this same tree!
