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.

yep, me 2...though I am not a tree hugger...this is a nice one. Or it was.
DeleteHeat and drought have been rough here too. Next spring will be interesting indeed.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
Deleteshe's pretty... i hope the weather works in her favor... :)
ReplyDeleteI hope so, too. She just looks so very sad right now.
DeleteWhen 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...
ReplyDeleteI hope so.
DeleteNice yard, tree and photo!
ReplyDeleteMaybe 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.
Hoping she just starts out spring her old self.
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nicely shaped tree and stands pretty much outside the front door. I am hopeful after doing some reading. Thanks for coming by!
