Today I revisited the Northern Red Oak tree from 2 weeks ago to note any changes, but unfortunately I did not notice much of a difference in the tree itself. I still found no evidence of flowering, fruiting, or budding, but the sun was out today, and there was a lot more mud and bare ground rather than snow, which is very different from the freezing temperatures and snow from a few weeks ago. I expect to see real Spring changes before my next blog post as the temperatures increase and the phenological calendar continues on. 🙂
