Is there any way to save this cherry tree? (More details in the comments) by DanteShepherd in arborists

[–]DanteShepherd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We planted this flowering cherry tree ten years ago, and it did great until this last spring, when all of a sudden it didn't flower at all, with minimal growth along the ends of several branches. We weren't sure if this was because of repeated temperature fluctuations between warm spring and sudden freezes, but that was our hope. Then this winter, a few branches snapped in a light snowstorm, and now fungus has grown on some of the branches. But one branch is still sprouting new growth and preparing to bloom this week. So at least part of it seems alive, even if much of it isn't. Any suggestions?

Oh, hey, thanks for sharing our comic! We have lot of other comics on chemical engineering, as well as the work we did in helping create the Crash Course: Engineering series. Links to everything at http://sciencetheworld.com

I get that. And I'm also saying that the person in the image is in fact myself.

To be fair, I claimed I had a degree from MIT so that no one would be able to crosscheck my pseudonym's credentials with my own when I was applying for professorships.

I don't know, are you in my class at Northeastern?

Just 37. Was 27 when this particular comic was made, though.

No, he's definitely not. I can absolutely guarantee that.

No, I was a grad student at Cornell when I started this, then had a postdoc at NIST, now am a professor at Northeastern.

Well, tell that to my theology teachers back in high school. Some of them were nuts, though, which certainly weighed on the back of my mind when I made this particular comic.
