Shay and Hannah Field Botany: Phenology Post 4/25

We returned to Ruffner Mountain again Friday to check on our phenology species again. All of our species are pretty much in the same stage they were in when we visited Wednesday. Our first species, Asimina triloba or pawpaw, is still at first leaf, now with about 75 percent of leaves fully unfolded. Secondly, we observed Liriodendron tulipifera still in full leaf with even more leaves than Wednesday. Next species,Quercus alba, is also still in full the full leaf phase as seen in the picture below. Lastly, Cornus florida was still in full leaf now with no visible flowers.
