The ice storm caused the tops of several of my river birches to hang/bend over. For several months these trees dropped water/sap. I assumed the tree was attempting to repair tears caused by all of the bending. Is that what you mean? Jeny |

Is it a golden raintree? (http://greenwoodnursery.com/page.cfm/1278)
(I wonder how that tree got its name.) On Wed, 18 Jun 2003 23:08:01 GMT, "DR Ranch" wrote: wondering what makes a tree almost rain like drop water....... |

ok I'm going to take a stab at this.....if you mean that when you're
standing under the tree, you can feel tiny "water" droplets falling on you, I would speculate that the tree is covered with small caterpillars, and they're "releasing" the droplets (peeing). How's that? Eileen DR Ranch wrote: wondering what makes a tree almost rain like drop water....... |

wondering what makes a tree almost rain like drop water.......
My indoor potted pothos rain after I water them. Little water droplets gather at the tip of furled leaves, etc. and will drip off. Perhaps something like this is happening to your tree? Susan shsimko at duke dot edu |

Yes this may be it.....I live in Dallas Tx where the winters can fool the
trees to bloom and a freeze follow.....hardly any seeds dropped.....I think this is a maple tree......of course worse can happen and it did in that hail stripped much of the tree of what leaves it had.....am I of course weird but I remember a horror movie that people bleed blood and it was call stigmata ??? yet this was a biological term and thus switched to a medical term in the movie.....is this what is happening maybe.....

Sure enough, every time I go outside and stand under the trees, I get wet! grin Others have posted much more helpful suggestions... -- Brent Harsh - KD4PBO Cary, North Carolina, USA |
