Weird street tree

[Jesse]

I suspect that the buds are already swelling large and are sticky ready for an early flush next year. First to flush and first to drop.

If I close my eyes in the afternoon to inspect the back of my eyelids , does it mean I'm dead ??? or is it just because I'm tired and old, the old Aesculus has one of the largest leaf structure's, timings for its flush are climatic dependent ,it then has to try and last a very unpredictable summer climate ( Native Region Greece.) so more often than not, if it drops its leaves early its really just trying to say, for Christ sake give me some better weather. And I often feel the same.

Sorry to go on, but I'd just liken the Mistletoe to a nagging wife, you'd just shut your eyes early and pretend to be asleep

Buds on the lower crown looked anything but fat and sticky when I saw it about two weeks ago I'm afraid

And I bet people still park under it?

Was about to say, "that looks amazing!" and now it's gone, and now I feel

But, Thanks for sharing. Would love to have a tree like that in our meadow.

Looked more like a poodle than a tree!

Hi I work on the Richmond contract the tree failed during the October storm. We had to fell the tree as it was so unsafe. I used a mewp as I didn't want to climb it. I will add the pictures when I charge up my phone.

Was there any life left in it as Jesse suspected?
