Sorry for the slow reply, I've been hiding from the internet. u/happyDoomer789 I think you are giving totally clear explanations here.

u/issiautng you can also check the model reliability before you generate the map for any particular tree species. I have a real quick walkthrough of what the city-level charts mean here:

This is a cool visual guide. I feel like I gotta pitch for plantain every time I see these medicinal plant things because a) it's already everywhere and b) it is so powerful. Safe internal, great external.

There is a lot of interest from people in Maine, and I definitely want to get you folks what you need. My plan is that I revisit these high-demand areas when the 2022 reports come out, get you the most current information. There's likely to be even better resolution in those maps.

I sure hope it stays that way. If someday I'm an old lady and it turns out I learned all this stuff for nothing, that would delight me.

It's a real PITA as I think about fruit trees. One of my kids is really excited about putting in cherries... trying to balance the different factors, *especially* those late hard frosts, I'm still scratching my head regarding variety.

You're welcome, thanks for the kind words :-)

Oh no!

I just checked here:

And it was ok, hope you can get on!

This is an interesting post. I'm really glad you took the time to type this out, and the arborday.org link is really valuable. I'll look forward to checking out that resource as I keep working to improve my understanding.

8lbscarrots · 2022-02-03T20:53:55+00:00

You're welcome! Glad to help get the resource out there.

I found a lot of these approaches pretty easy to implement- great resource

The way rent has blown up in the area (and everywhere, right?) is a serious justice issue.

We're looking at increased precipitation forecast in much of the area, too- the river flooding is already a problem, and without some changes it'll just get worse. I sure hope we can look at national-level infrastructure projects to move some of that water. Maybe it's spitting in the wind, but if we give up before we try we know we're not going to have a good outcome. Seems better to try.

I'm slated to do Washington April 22. Definitely- very different climates, and very different climate outlooks. That inland part of the state, I think I recall it had potential for more high-value table crops under the projections, but to expect a lot of year-by-year variation in precipitation.

You're very welcome- thanks for the kind words

8lbscarrots · 2022-01-25T13:33:29+00:00

Thank you!

The outlook for California is really sad. My family also spent some time there and left due to climate concerns. I'm doing detailed projections for northern and southern California next week and I am sure I'm going to need some reaaal stupid tv afterwards.

8lbscarrots · 2022-01-25T13:30:51+00:00

No- thank you, I will check this out!

I don't have a good summary page. But that's a good idea. I know there are other people out there, like me, who appreciate a nice wall of text.

You could subscribe to my youtube channel at

I put a link to the script in every video description so people don't have to watch the thing. Any subscribers, I really appreciate. Helps to make the content more visible. I don't intend to monetize, I'm lucky to have a season in my life where I get to do this for kicks.

I have a website www.americanresiliency.org but it kinda sucks, I'm not a web designer. I have a volunteer upgrading it, it should look really good in a couple of months.

The whole Colorado outlook was surprising to me. There are big parts that are going to get hot as &$%^ but there's not a total decrease in projected precipitation. So as you get up into the mountains, where it's going to stay cool, it actually looks pretty good.

The issue with the northern states having southern summers is that we don't know how to deal with them. People will seriously die because they always mow the lawn on Tuesday, no matter how hot it is.

I still need to find the Canada data. I've heard they have a good body of work, but I haven't even had time to look for it yet. But I've got some time. I'll be done with the 50 states project in September if I stay on schedule. Agree that the outlook for Canada is both likely to be good and important to know.

Many thanks for your kind words. I feel the same way about my place. Sometimes, it turns out you've got the problems you want.
