On April 19, 2018, I observed both of our Northern Spicebush (Lindera benzoin) trees. Weather conditions were sunny with mild cloud coverage, and the temperature was around 43F. Both plants had approximately 101-1000 breaking leaf buds and had approximately 101-1000 breaking flower buds. There are still no open flowers, however leaves have begun to open and show initial growth. Hopefully, with more consistent warm weather we can begin to see these plants blossom.

On April 12th I observed our two Northern Spicebush trees. It was a sunny day with very little cloud cover, and the temperature was around 70 degrees fahrenheit at 2:00 P.M. when I made my observations. Both plants had approximately 101-1000 breaking leaf buds and had approximately 101-1000 breaking flower buds. There are still no visible leaves or flowers yet, but hopefully with consistent warm weather in the forecast they will develop soon. (Post by M. Cooley)
While the warmer weather (upper 50's) has been favorable this week, unfortunately it doesn’t appear to have done much for the spicebushes we’ve been monitoring. Both plants still have between 1,001 to 10,000 breaking leaf buds, however, none of them have completely leafed out. Hopefully the 1,001 to 10,000 breaking flower buds will lead to some color in the near future.
