| I know this has been a very strange year, weather-wise. Has any one else noticed a similar situation with their trees?
Our Betula nigra Heritage 'Cully' was planted last October and has grown about a foot and a half. Over this past week we've noticed that the end of every branch has been sending out new leaf growth --- even as some of the older leaves on the tree are beginning to turn yellow and fall. Any reasons for this puzzling event? Thanks,

| Yeah, after hot weather lots of rain. Old leaves shed, the rain encourages new growth. |

| Strobiculate, thanks for the info. I'm relieved that this is "normal" behavior for our birch. Ken, nope --- we haven't fertilized the tree and are just letting it settle into its new home for the next few years. Molie |
