I went for a walk in the area of our woods where we started tapping in '05. I found several "new" trees, and some smaller healthy trees that we overlooked last year, now I just need to convince the "Boss" that we should "expand" our production.
Anyway, I was looking at the leaves on various Maples, and it seems that "something" is wrong.............I'm seeing browning of numerous leaves and the leaves look smaller than I recall.
I was just wondering what, if anything, I could do................noting this is just a hobby.
I'm concerned that the Maples will be dying much like our Elms and some Oaks.
We've just had a hot spell, but we've had a good year for rain, but the spring was a bit wet. These trees grow on a stoney ridge that runs north/south.
Thanks,
Pete
