A couple days of rain here Sunday and Monday certainly can not hurt. Still seems early according to the calendar, but we know it’s more about the soil temps. Fingers crossed.

Went out to check a bunch of new ground here in Albany. I found a ton of perfect Elm’s with no luck. Until I almost got back to the car. 20 that I could see. Most not bigger than the first knuckle on my pinky. They have at least another week and a half to go. But at least I have some new PG!!! Always exciting. Also found this great Elm, got closer and realized this wasn’t the bumper flush I was looking for. I haven’t looked them up yet. The entire tree was surrounded by them. Anyone know what they are?

After more than a decade I finally found my first dying elm with a payout. Much to the likes of our sages, Geo and Hobler. I have never passed and Apple or elm in the woods with out a look. However, I have never found more than a few under either. In Otsego County my primary bounty comes from white ash. Today in Albany County, the elm put out. I too had my little good luck charm with me. We pull 147 off one tree. We left, 30 more fresh ones that we could see. Would have left more to grow, but it was a very public and blatant spot. Which I guess is a good sign that no one else is really searching in that area because there were plenty of large ones to spot. The tree itself appeared to be very new to its downward spiral. Very little bark sluffing off and still some green buds. Can’t wait to get back out and really explore that area this weekend!
