Hello,

 

Did anyone else note that the leaves took a long time to die and fall from apples trees this season?

 

It has been shown that both magnetic fields and temperature affect plants, and I wonder if the holding of the leaves longer has to do with a warming planet and the declining field strength of Earth’s magnetic field.

 

Magnetic fields affect plant germination, the direction a plant grows, and other things, why not be associated with leaf drop?  Just as there are seasonal variations in leaf drop are there minor magnetic field variations seasonally as well.  Just a wild theory.

Just curious if anyone else has seen similar extended leaf holding this year.

 

Later,

Tom
