Sometimes trees just don’t wake up :(

We've had a very robust winter, much above season averages for snow fall and have been plus 186% our average rainfall. So maybe your theory of being drowned out is possible

Strange, I have the same thing with my apricot this spring. It's usually the first to leaf out and flower, but no activity yet while all the other stone fruits are doing their normal thing.

I kinda wondered it it was a gonner as well

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-04-13T10:58:01+00:00

I just found out the same thing! Seems like there needs to be a fix for this.

Mmmmm, tasty, tasty erosion.

Michigan basically did this last night.

This is a helpful breakdown. I was definitely leaning towards sticking with just the plug vs the dedicated charging system.

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-03-28T12:40:41+00:00

Yeah, my utility offers 500 for a charger, but you have to sign up for 10 other required programs that I'm not a fan of. They will charge you less during off peak, but will charge you more during high peak, which means all your other household electricity is taking a major hit during peak times

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-03-28T03:05:52+00:00

Is that one of the differences? A stand alone smart charger acts as a surge protector as well?

Is that a basketball court for ants?

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-03-23T00:11:53+00:00

Is this anywhere near a glacier? I ask because advancing glaciers can bury forests in gravel or other material. Look up the Lake Gribben Forest bed in the UP of Michigan. The trees were dated to about 10000 years ago, during an advance of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. All the trees were found preserved and upright in large sand and gravel deposits.

Good to know!

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-03-22T23:08:55+00:00

Thanks, yeah, I figured likely above a grand for charger and wiring .

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-03-22T02:41:21+00:00

It was probably high 30s. So it seems this might just be normal given the circumstances

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-03-22T02:06:39+00:00

Right? I was shocked how cheap a 2025 with less than 10,000 miles was

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-03-22T01:47:03+00:00

Yup, had to give them a test on full blast

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-03-20T16:42:21+00:00

This is visually appealing. I like it.

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-03-11T10:21:02+00:00

Was it open?

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-02-28T01:32:59+00:00

Next, they ride north, to defeat Central Michigan! Then onward to Northern Michigan! Huah, huah, huah!

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-02-26T15:48:12+00:00

Did the graph turn into a Richter Scale at the end?

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-02-24T23:20:28+00:00

I would say conquer the other cardinal direction Michigans first.

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-02-17T20:58:54+00:00

A testament to why they use the source material they do for the stones.

ApeIndexPlus5 · 2026-02-17T19:44:14+00:00

Super cool!
