This is excellent! I learned so much! Wow! The work that went into it. You never ever slack off do you?
Plenty of images to help us understand. I am especially intrigued by your little leaf's (I was so happy you got back to it) trigger to fall because I have an outlier tree in my yard.
It's a black cherry, probably grown to its enormous size from a wild sport long ago. Every year in July it drops its leaves, I become certain that this year it is dead and will cost me a thousand dollars to remove, and every spring it leafs out again, flowers and fruits with the others of its kind and seems fine. Until its leaves yellow and drop once again at least two months before its black cherry brethren lose their leaves for winter dormancy. Maybe it's just old age.
Great post. Thank you for taking the time to put it together.
Dear @owasco,
Thank you for visiting my blog! I'm so glad you liked it. I think it's obvious I had great fun in writing this blog. I just kept making pictures. They didn't all get into the blog :))
It seems plants have their own mechanisms. Some of these are quite complicated and require a number of factors to trigger dormancy (and germination). You should check out the 'trigger' for your tree. Maybe you can stop worrying :)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend (although it's down to just Sunday), and a fulfilling 2020.
