Heh, Lesley, your trees are a young bush of mostly 1- and 2-spilers, so smaller trees would probably thaw out a lot faster! :-) I don't know Karen's trees but I would think her elevation and proximity to the Great Lakes probably affect each other.
At this end, a nice promising start to the season, no overflowing pails. But when I put the trees to bed last night about 10pm, making sure that they got the memo that it was time to quit for the day, #5 and #6 were still plinkin steadily away...while #2 must be a union tree, won't produce too much after 5pm!
ETA: I hear geese....and just brought in 15.5l. Will have to wait til after work to collect again, then time to start foggin up the windows!!
