i know it seems way too early – about 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule down here.
but i found these fresh yellows yesterday.
spied a dead elm down the hill as i was checkin a south-facing field edge. picked a few and headed down the fenceline.
looked back at the elm that was just starting to slip bark on an upper limb and thought “good tree, but north slope, too early,” but had to go back and check and i’m glad i did.
finding yellows this soon makes me think the season is gonna wrap up pretty quick.
