Tweeting Tulip Tree

The Tweeting Tulip Tree at The Morton Arboretum shares its life experiences, scientific data, and tree care advice!

Fall is just around the corner! 🍂The scientists track fall color and leaf drop based on phenological observations and sap flow. The Sycamore tree tends to drop its leaves (where you see a decrease in sap flow) in late October/early November. #fall #data

Solar radiation and precipitation are key drivers of sap flow in trees. In this composite graph you can see the Spruce and Sycamore trees reacting to changes in solar radiation and precipitation during the 2020 growing season☀️☔️ #DataAnalytics #DataScience #nature

Scientists can measure tree trunk expansion using a dendrometer. This graph shows Sycamore dendrometer data over several years. It grows about an inch every year with small fluctuations throughout in response to weather conditions.📈🌳 #DataScience #DataAnalytics #nature #spring

Hello Twitter! I am slowly waking up from my winter slumber ☀️ Click on the link below to hear from an @MortonArboretum scientist talking about the sensors that will monitor my physiological status this growing season🌳 https://t.co/wWyOc6nvIH

It’s goal setting season! My goals for 2023 are to mitigate storm water, provide cleaner air, and store carbon! What are your 2023 goals? #iTREE @iTreeTools #nature #2023goals #2023NewYear #trees #Science #DataScience

@TreeGuyLouie @MortonArboretum The drones do many things! One drone is equipped with LiDAR technology which creates accurate 3D models of trees. Scientists can use those models to analyze canopy structure and monitor growth.

[Tweeting Tulip Tree @TweetTulipTree]

Drones play a huge role in tree science and conservation. Are you curious about the drone program at The Morton Arboretum? Ask me questions! #drone #nature #conservation #technologies #STEM @MortonArboretum

[Tweeting Tulip Tree @TweetTulipTree]

@DarkFeyFanClub @MortonArboretum Yes, drones provide easy access to tall tree canopies. Drones can be equipped with various tools to do many jobs. For example, a leaf cutter can be attached to a drone and flown up to take a leaf sample from the very top of a tree. 🌳🍃

Here is sap flow data from the Sycamore last month. We can see when there was a significant rain event and when the tree began dropping its leaves (early/mid November). The Sycamore is now dormant for the winter ❄️ #data #dataScientist #phenology #winter

November me vs December me

Happy November! 🍂🦃 I am showing off my fall color on this rather warm day. My weather station read 71 degrees F this afternoon. On this day last year, it was 46 degrees F. #phenology #fall #November #weather #data #DataScience #climate #trees #nature

[Tweeting Tulip Tree @TweetTulipTree]

The Bowhall Maple’s average daily sap flow this month was ~3 cm/hr. Sap flow has dramatically slowed in the past few days as the final leaves fall and the tree goes into dormancy for the winter. 🍁❄️ #data #dataScientist #fall #weather #trees #foliage #phenology

[Tweeting Tulip Tree @TweetTulipTree]

It has been a dry fall season 🍂 My weather station recorded 1.05 inches of rain so far this month. In October 2021, it recorded 7.05 inches of rain. #data #DataScientist #nature #phenology #fall #weather #October

Thank you to the Davey Resource Group - Utility Vegetation Management crew for stopping by last week! @DaveyTree 🌳 My leaves are just beginning to change color 🍂 #Tree #nature #fall #phenology

[Tweeting Tulip Tree @TweetTulipTree]

Happy October! 🍂 The Sycamore tree leaves are just beginning to change color, but the daily sap flow is still at a steady ~10cm/hr. #fall #trees #nature #phenology #data #DataScience #Weather #October #SpookySZN

[Tweeting Tulip Tree @TweetTulipTree]

Even on this chilly fall day my daily sap flow is steady at about 6cm/hr., and my leaves are still green. #fall #data #fallvibes #phenology
