It’s finally spring! Temps are getting above freezing so a lot of the snow is melting. This made traveling to my tree a little difficult because it was so muddy in the forest. The prompt for this week is to just make any updates about phenological changes about our tree. Nothing drastic has happened to my American Beech.
You can see the snow cover is significantly less than last visit. The bud also might be slightly more developed in comparison to my last picture, but there are no flowers and definitely no leaves yet.
I made another observation on iNaturalist.
Overall there was nothing super interesting to report but I am excited to see as the weather warms up a little more what phenological changes happen next!
