On April 20th, 2018, our group monitored our four box elder tree's growth. It was a chilly, but sunny day (60°F), with a humidity of 20%, and soil was moderately dry. Leaf growth occurred with all four box elder trees (75-94% on all four box elder trees). Box elder 1,2, and 3 had 5-24% of the tree covered in leaves, and box elder 4 had 50-74% of the tree covered in leaves due to how young and small the tree is. No flowers were seen on any of the four trees. (Post by Z. Krajcirovic)

On Friday April 13th, 2018, I went to the Radford Bike Path to monitor the four boxelder maple trees. It was sunny at 73 degrees and there was a moderately strong breeze. The soil around the boxelder maples was soft, but dry. Boxelder-1 and Boxelder-2 have similar number of breaking leaf buds and leaves with increasing leaf sizes. Boxelder-3 and Boxelder-4 also have very similar number of breaking leaf buds and leaves with increasing leaf sizes. However, since Boxelder-3 and Boxelder-4 are so much taller than Boxelder-1 and Boxelder-2 they have a greater quantity of breaking leaf buds and leaves with increasing leaf sizes. (Post by G.

It had snowed a light blanket of a snow a few days prior, was chilly (48°F), and there was a 44% humidity. The soil surrounding all four boxelders was fairly moist due to the melted snow. (Post by M.
