That is unusual for Budworm to eat such young trees. The damage they do can effect an area for many many years.

 

hi smclelan !!!

don t know if they are the oldest plants next to road....but  close to private wooden lots...maybe the strong winds brought them in the little plants ??????????????????????????

the youngest plants are on the other side of road into greenhouse !!

still humid and hot...a bit colder than yesterday 

 

btw...don t see that too often here...my brother was at the library last week ....nice range rover in the parking....4 doors... ....found the owner.....talked with him ....guy from france....jeep landed at the port of halifax...

gone for 2 years with 2-3 kids in south america ....he had some friends in denver...

You stopped too soon!  Felt the same way, too wobbly and maybe something was wrong.   All good as it improves with speed.  Either that or I don't notice while trying to hold on.
