I don't know so thats why I am asking this. How do you think this years heavy rains and flooding effected the regeneration of new trees and plates trough out. Does the heavy abundance of rain hinder or is it good for growth?

I dont know about the extreme flooding conditions, but summers with more rainfall = more vegetation growth than dry ones as a rule.

True,but we actually had a pretty dry year during the time period when it mattered.I have a bunch of buddies that are farmers and they were close to losing a bunch of money on the corn crop.OF course,during hunting season it rains almost every day I have a chance to hunt.

I just thought maybe this is why the acorn and fruit crop wasn't as plentiful in some areas. I know they don't produce every year but seem as if in the area I hunt this was the year to have an abundance and it just didn't happen. Just trying to put 2 and 2 together.

I dont know about your fruit crop but we had a peach tree at work when it yielded peaches they were the size of baseballs for real. But they busted out like every third year.

In my area everything"s like a jungle. Even I never had green grass in my yard this late in the year. People are still mowing their lawns. My ground is saturated and soft. We got walnuts up the walls,but I see very few apples now. They fell early this year and there wasn't many. The sweet corn farmers were selling off the corn late in the season pretty cheap so that tells me they had lots or the wet spring wouldn't let them plant early enough and it was GOOD tasting,Man! I don't know.I ain't a pro.No rhyme intended. Every year's different.
