On February 8th, 2018 we hiked down to a bike pathway with forested edge habitat that runs next to the New River in Radford, Virginia. It was a cool, breezy day (42°F) with and our team chose 3 different individual Boxelder maple trees to study weekly. All three of the trees are in shaded, moist areas. We attached a metal identification tag labeled with a unique name (e.g. Boxelder-1) and used pink flagging for easy finding each week. Across all three tress, we found that they had no breaking leaf buds, leaves, open flowers, or fruits. We found that all had flower buds; however, the number of flower buds varied among trees with boxelder-1 having the most. (Post by M. Beckner)
