Early morning, I traveled the quick 15 minutes to Radford University's Selu Conservancy to observe my team's shrubs. After a week of fluctuating weather of snow in the beginning of the week and rain with warmer weather midweek, this morning was sunny and 44° Fahrenheit. As spring rolls in, the warming weather brought more visible phenophases. More and more breaking leaf buds are coming through. No leaves are to full potential, but the increasing leaf size is continuing rapidly. There are a few wilted and dried leaves, most likely shock from the environmental stressors. The fruits from the previous growing season are still on both Multiflora bushes. Hopefully with the warming weather, these fruits will drop and flower buds will begin to show up. (Post by L.Cort)
