TREE

BFF prompt is Trees

Below is my poor sad maple from my front yard. The drought and apparently some sort of disease has made it appear to be going dormant or actually dying. :-{

We are hoping....she will revive in the Spring.

    1. I know...I've noticed a lot of maples were really affected around here so the disease must be wide spread. A lot of my flowers that usually are still blooming are just done, not dead, just not blooming. Kinda sad.

  4. When we had our house built in 1973, I asked for a Maple tree for the middle of the back yard. It never did well, so eventually, my husband cut it down because he thought it was dead. From the stump grew a fine sturdy tree... I guess sometimes it takes a radical pruning... Which is what I would have done if I knew it wasn't dead to start with... Good luck with your tree. Maybe it will surprise you. I hope...

  5. Nice yard, tree and photo!
    Maybe it's just takin' a nap, waitin' for water.
    I've noticed some trees around here (Ohio) are already starting to get a little color on them.

  6. I hope the tree rejuvenates as well. I love Maples and really miss seeing them. Oaks, Pines and Palms seem to dominate the Florida Forest here.

  7. It is a nicely shaped tree and stands pretty much outside the front door. I am hopeful after doing some reading. Thanks for coming by!
