The trees here in Northern NY are doing well too. Lots of rain here so a lot of first cutting hay is still in the fields. The strawberry crop is the best I've had in 20 years. I monitor growth on some of my young trees and as of last week most had already put on 1" in circumference or 1/3" in diameter this growing season. The one silver maple I tap has already completely closed this year's treesaver tapholes. Pretty impressive.
