Swede Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 My dunstans. 2 /3 years old 3 2 years old bloomed out great. Frost last week burned every leaf black. Anybody have this happen. Hoping for releaf
Bucksnbows Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 I don't know the dunstans well. One of the reasons our original strain were so dominant a forest component beyond just overtowering the other trees is that they flowered well after any dangers of frost. Some years we just lose our mast crops and there is nothing we can do. This might be one of those years.

Swede Posted May 23, 2023 Author Posted May 23, 2023 Yes. These never got to flower. New Young leafs. Lost apple crop due to late frost and new chestnut leaves. Hoping they release. Looks like no apples again this year. Flowers toasted
G-man Posted May 23, 2023 Posted May 23, 2023 Mine are pure american and haven't budded out yet just starting.. friends in valley lost everything. Was spotty on top of hill
Stubborn1vt Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 Saw this in some young ash and oak today. Leaves were all dead. Should leaf out again, but that shot of cold didn't do things any good. I'll be interested to see what the effects are on our apple trees.
Swede Posted May 24, 2023 Author Posted May 24, 2023 My new apples showed no effects other than flowers dead. More frost thurs night
Swede Posted May 28, 2023 Author Posted May 28, 2023 Dunstans are beginning to bud out again. We'll see how they do. Lots of catch up to to. Watering too now that rain stopped Belo 1
Big Paul Posted May 28, 2023 Posted May 28, 2023 Frost killed the chestnut leaves, apple blossoms and my young oak leaves. Depressing. No rain and now my lawn is brown and the hayfield is way behind. No rain in sight. Not sure what my plan is now for food plots.
Belo Posted June 20, 2023 Posted June 20, 2023 damn I'm just seeing this. Didn't know chestnuts were susceptible to frost. Was bad enough I lost almost all my apples and a good portion of peaches to the frost. Now to worry about future years losing leaves and mast? sunofa "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" Luke 6:31 and Matthew 7:12
