FXWX Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago 3 hours ago, CoastalWx said: I noticed that after the bridge, but went away towards HYA. I was told that is due to the cicadas. They peal away the bark of new growth to lay eggs or nest or whatever and that kills the new growth. So that's why you see the edges with the brown leaves. Yes! Not drought / rainfall related... 100% cicadas related... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's cicadas, it's a variety that makes no noise. We're actually seeing some non-swamp colors earlier than usual, due to 5 straight mornings in the 30s and/or drought.

Torch Tiger Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I waswn't talking about leaf-edge browning, I was talking about trees being half-dead and half green. May still be cicadas, I guess. Could just be dead stuff from last year. I'll take pictures tomorrow when I'm in SRI, they probably have same issue. It's only those short bushy oaks you see near the coast, I don't see it around here or anywhere inland with the larger ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's prevalent on the cape according to reports. Been there since August. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Lots of trees changing or just browning and defoliating. My pawpaws are mostly yellow and the river birch is half brown. At least the invasive buckthorn and oriental bittersweet are withering and dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your area may indeed be related to dryness. When I was on the Cape in early July and then again in mid-August, it was quite remarkable in the Sandwich / Mashpee area... Had never seen anything like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torch Tiger Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago it's much worse now. oak trees are 3/4 brown. From what I read, the worst was N Falmouth Sandwich but it's spread way east to Yarmouth, Brewster etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
