Maple trees dropping leaves left and right.

Neptunium 239 in our rain again.

I am posting here once again because this freaking stuff is happening again here and it is not even summer yet.
I cut the lawn yesterday and bagged it and today I took some pictures to show the naysayers just what I am talking about here.
Should I post a new thread or just go with this thread?
I hope somebody reads this and if they do I have the pics but I have never mastered uploading them here on ATS and I don't know why.
However if somebody here is kind enough to u2 me with an email and I can send them to you to post for me.

Whatever it is it is bad and getting worse here by the day without a doubt at all.

Regards, Iwinder

Sorry, I don't know how to do that either. Do you know how to use photobucket?

If you post a new thread, more current members would see it than trying to revive this one.

Sorry about the trees, would love to see the pictures. Are you by chance having a drought? Are you in an area that has had alot of the radiation fallout? This is worrisome to me.

That is ok that you cannot upload pics either, this thread is quite long and I started it over a year ago so I don't blame you for not reading the whole thread.

I have been told it is heat stress/drought/ radiation from Japan/ Pollution/and whatever else comes to mind.
I am not sure what is causing this but in our twenty plus years here in this home our Maples have never ever done this until last summer.


Thanks very much for your concern and your reply here.

Thank you very much for adding to this thread, as I said last year the leaves are very very crunchy just like special K cereal or cornflakes.....
We have a well here just for our yard so it is not lack of water, we love our 4 maples and fear we are going to lose them.

WOW what a good idea to bring to this thread and I guarantee you that I will try it tomorrow Morning because I know I have nothing to lose here.

If it is even close to last years disaster all our Maples will be naked by early August........Nothing to lose here but everything suggested is going to be tried.

Thanks so much for the idea.

I should specify that this page here PAGE 16 Is a year older then when I started this thread.

Very interesting that the same thing is happening again but much much sooner and so far much more worse, but perhaps things will correct themselves here?
