What I HAVE noticed is the butterfly bushes... here in PA may of them died or have little growth. Haven't seen anything like it in my life, and the winter wasn't even that bad. Very odd.

I haven't noticed dying trees, but I'm a lot farther south than you. I can say that my butterfly bush didn't love last winter's cold temps, though - it came back, but slowly, and I had to cut all of last year's growth back to the ground.

I had greater than average dieback on Fig trees. It was a BAD winter in my opinion for the duration of cold.

I think I lost 3 butterfly bushes. I left them in the ground in hopes that there is some life left in them. No growth so far.

Yes. Lots of dead ash trees from the ash borers, dead pines, a huge oak behind my house is dying...dead branches beginning to appear, tree leaning. Adelgid has killed hemlock trees. It's been a weird year for weather. Good thing is no mosquitoes YET here in the Catskill foothills.

Was up in MA visiting family this past weekend. Third year in a row of seeing significant gypsy moth defoliation. I fear we will start seeing lots of big oaks up there dying.

We have a lot of ash trees that gone with the wind in my neighborhood. I just had tree services cut down 4 huge ash trees that had ash borer damage. My neighbor has 8 huge damaged ash trees too, but it's too expensive to cut them down, his trees would cost over $10,000.

Our dead ash trees stay up for many years. We have one that's been dead for 20 years and is still standing, limbs gone, of course. But each dead ash tree has a pilated woodpecker nest in the trunk at the very top. Very entertaining.

We had dead branches coming down during the wind storms, it wasn't safe to walk in the backyard on a windy day, they were 50-60' tall giant trees.....too close to the house.

I live in the midwest and we have the same problems..we have lots of dead ash trees..very sad to see..we broke the record for a freeze at the end of April..it damaged the new foliage of lots of plants..I noticed these dead trees (ash?) coming out of Lowe's today and took pics..

My Maples seem to be in decline here in NJ. A few years ago, I had a Sugar Maple removed, now it's a Red Maple.

The only surviving one I have is a gorgeous, Bloodgood Japanese Maple.

I recall about twenty years ago being in a highrise building and looking down upon the beautiful and extensive dense canopy of trees below. Well, since then there's been several severe droughts and numerous late summer / early autumn hard freezes that have combined to really take their toll! Oh, not to mention last winter being the worst in something like 40 years! This spring, many of the trees had responded in stress mode and further exhausting themselves by producing copious amounts of seeds. Then, toss in the second coldest and snowiest September on record, I mean conditions were utterly miserable, it's one insult after another and the trees have markedly thinned and died back.

It is the global warming that is causing the problem. ;-)

Trees around here appear normal but this year sure seemed like the great dying of bamboo stands, hard to kill that stuff but something took it out rather rapidly on the local scale, no resprouting from the roots either.

Could they have flowered? Bamboo stands die after flowering and setting seed.

We have the southern pine beetle here now the past few years so always seeing dead and dying pines but can’t say I noticed anything amuck with the other trees.

Could they have flowered? Bamboo stands die after flowering and setting seed.

One friend of mine has had bamboo surrounding his home on 3 sides as a privacy barrier for the past 30 years and it has always been healthy up until this past spring when all of it died off at once. He removed thick stalks some of which were 20' high. No new shoots anywhere to be found. Now he is considering replacing it with leyland cypress trees for future privacy.
