 A weekly blog from
Tom Dayton....
all blogs
March 7,
2014
Are we truly free of the single digit weather?
Production is now 1 week behind at the nursery because of delays in
the potting of roses and perennials which will spill over into other
scheduled procedures. Around the Akron area, I’ve noticed the severe burn on
some of the broadleaved evergreens becoming more pronounced.
Again, it’s a function of super cold weather, sun, (-12º F), strong
relentless winds and no insulating blanket of snow.
Damage not showing up as yet may be dead or dying bark on trees and shrubs,
dead or damaged Zone 6 and even Zone 5 herbaceous perennials and flower buds
frozen on various species of plants such as Forsythia and evergreen azaleas.
The warm up is also on its way but it has been painfully slow.
An unusually fast warm up as in 2012 would be even worse!
