My shop oak tree is leafing out

[mmayo]

Amid such awful times spring just keeps moving on. This is part of the view out my shop's roll up door. Nice spot for a coffee break. Soon the sky will be blocked again with large green leaves.
Be safe

Lots of potential nice figured wood in that tree . What kind of oak is it ?

The oak standing behind my shop has also leafed out... not sure which variety of oak, but suspect also white oak.... it's immediately behind the shop, leans slightly towards the shop and is at least 4' diameter at the base.... it's first limb is about 10-15 feet up the tree is run horizontal to the ground... a perfect hanging tree. If it falls, my shop will be smashed totally flat.

One of my front gardens' flowering cherry trees starting to bleed blossom onto the lawn. Raining now so shot from window

My Chinese elm has been completely leafed out since February. Around here they call them "evergreen elms" because in our warm Phoenix weather they are only bare for about 3 or 4 weeks in late December/early January. We had a mild winter, so it never did go completely bare, keeping almost half its leaves all winter.

I love this time of the year. Our pecan trees are leafing out nicely as well.

Added a tiny bit of saturation too lessen the smog in Arvin and that is the view I see out of the shop daily. Love it.

Let's hope for tree health and moderate wind for you.

Yes it's to bad we have such crappy air quality these days. Stuff coming over the hill from Barkersfield and LA. Makes for bad air I your area. Tree still looking good.

The big elm is fifty years old, the small one on the right is fifteen.

This was taken on the 24th, so you can see it is fully leafed out.

We rarely have bad air in Bear Valley, but we can see bad air down in Arvin and Bakersfield. People from Bakersfield come to our home to do work and immediately comment positively about the air. We sometimes shop in Bako and we notice the smell as soon as you head down the hill.

We have one at the end of the porch next to the house... it's already bloomed, shed pink petals everywhere and is now green.... they are pretty when all full of blossoms though...

We had a pretty good wind here today, then a rain storm.... it's still standing for now.
