What's happening with the trees and flowers? (Norway: rent, neighborhood)

[Cinbad]

Ever since spring strange things have been happening. The lilacs did bloom but I noticed that the leaves are dying. And the bark is peeling off them and gone in a lot of places. The branches are drooping and snapped off in some places. The maple leaves are totally covered with yellow spots and green leaves are falling for no reason that I know of. And branches look like someone broke them off. We have box elders in the neighborhood and the leaves are turning yellow and falling off. I know they are called box elders because the tree guy who came to cut down the two out back told me. The rose bushes look like something is snapping them off too. We rent here but like to take care of the yard. The landlord lives in Florida and really doesn't care about the yard. We planted Lamium and Vinca. They are doing ok except for the bugs. I have tomato and pepper plants on the roof that are doing awesome so far. I'm just concerned with what's happening to the trees. And in spring we had yellow finches and cardinals and other pretty birds. Now all we see is an occasional chickadee on the bird feeder. And lot's of noisy crows flying over. We had bluejays too but even they are gone.

Hi Cinbad,

Here's a link to an article on "tar spots." http://www.maine.gov/doc/mfs/documen...orwaymaple.pdf From what you describe, the yellow spots could indicate this fungi. It's widespread in Maine; you are not alone.

It's the chemtrails.

Thank you for the website. This explains a lot. The maples are in shade most of the day. Now I can look up what's going on with the lilacs and roses. Much appreciated.

You may want to have a licensed arborist come and check your trees. Lilacs here seem fine. Leaves look normal. Is anyone else in your area expiencing the same problems?

Sorry but rainbows are natural. I have seen these rainbows in sprinklers since I was a kid in the 50's. Rainbows are part of the magic of nature. It's getting hard to find magic in anything anymore. And I do agree our soil, water and air are totally polluted.

LOL. That is one of the best videos in a LONG time.

After watching that and listening to the woman talk, I feel like Einstein must have felt when dealing with the rest of us.
