Terrierman Posted March 8 Posted March 8 The big very old redbud in our front yard is blooming out - just really getting good and started. The Lilac bush is greening up and it won't be long before it blooms too. ness and Quillback 2
ness Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Our star magnolia is in full bloom. Nothing on our red or white buds yet. Quillback 1 John
tjm Posted March 9 Posted March 9 lots of beautiful bradford pears in NWA when I went to Fayetteville last Tuesday. End of March is normal for the redbuds I think, so maybe a week or two early. Quillback 1
ness Posted March 10 Posted March 10 What a difference a day makes! We've got Callery Pears all through the neighborhood in bloom today. Red and white buds here are about to pop. Quillback 1 John

WestCentralFisher Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Everything is so early this year, and I'm quite a bit further north. Some timely rain+stretches of 70/80 temps in quick succession will do that. Bluegill fishing is heating up on the small local lakes. I always consider it officially spring when I can catch a dozen Bluegill pretty easily, rather than just a few here and there. This is a highly scientific meteorological method, I've decided. My grandpa always said it was spring when the jon-quills bloom and the bass started biting, so I guess I have a similar approach.

They're everywhere around here. The city required the developers to give each lot a tree, and that's what we all got. We took ours out several years back. There are whole undeveloped areas around here that appear to be nothing but pears now. BilletHead 1 John
