October 23, 2022 we received over 1 foot of heavy wet snow. Lost 2 boulevard trees, 1 Summercrisp Apple tree, with broken branches on Pear and Plum trees. The moisture for the raised beds and yard in general is excellent, but sad to loose all those trees. The month of October was very dry and warmer than usual. Most of the trees still had their leaves which caught much of the falling snow and led to many broken branches and tree trunks breaking. Here are a few pictures:
