On February 22nd, 2018, we observed the original three Boxelder Maple and added a fourth Boxelder Maple labeled boxelder-4, noted below. The weather conditions were 79° Fahrenheit, 47% humidity, clear skies, and dry to medium soil moisture in some areas along the R.U. Bike Path. It has been mid to upper 70s, which has led to two of the Boxelder's soil base becoming dry in the past four days. Because of this, our group has not reported any signs of breaking leaves buds or open flowers for any Boxelder simply due to the abnormal hotter temperatures in February. In the past, Februaries would on average be 30’s to 40’s and sometimes as low as 20’s, but with our group best guess, climate change could be affecting these abnormal hotter temperatures this February of 2018.
