Niagara's Finest Grower of Nut Trees

Spring 2015

 

 

 

The Spring of 2015 was a very unusual time at our location.  We had snow up until April 16. Later in  early May, temperatures soared up into the 60  mid 70's degrees (14-26 C.).  New growth on Edible pine trees to 6 -8". Carpathian walnut 6 - 10 inch, Chinese Date, Chinese Dogwood, Cornelian Cherry, Sassafras, Oaks, Hickories,etc.  Even the newly transplanted pine, carpathian walnut, etc. had put on new growth. May 23- temperature to 22 degrees F. for 6 hours. ( Have a Davis Weather Station which records Temperature, Wind Chill, Dew Point, Leaf Tempture, Soil tempature & moisture. etc. which transmits new  readings every few seconds).  By afternoon all new growth had turned black from the freezing temperatures. Although the Hazelnuts were in full leaf - no frost related signs of damage.  The Paw Paw were not out in leaf, but had blossoms which  were not harmed by the tempatures.  Within  a week or so noticed new growth coming back on the Siberian and Korean pine, Carpathian walnut, Apples, etc..   Within 4  weeks all trees were back to before May 23 and continued to prosper.  All trees put on more than normal growth and  crops for the fall harvesting were above normal..

Summary - some concern originally - but having faith,  shows what the Creator will do.
  "  All were frozen but recovered very well. All leaves were die"  Later statement - "100% of the young tree are alive..... I'm very happy" 

Footnote:  One of many cerncerned customers after deep freeze of May 23/15..  A good reason why not to give up
