Macaca fuscata
26 April 1966 Kinkazan, Miyagi-Ken, Japan
Other large tree (16" dbh), new lvs. to 8 cm long all over. Castanea - few buds; some new, green, 1 cm long, opening. Some other trees so apparent activity (disused; por indicata). Carpinus - on some low branches buds open & lvs. to 3 cm, but only elongated + 2 cm on most branches in th (this general condition n higher parts island). Tree 3A, 6" dbh, lvs. 3 cm in corn. Trees have start of greenish foliated look. / I walked E. up Colin Trail. Lest the lvs. about 8 cm, almost full size (in leaves all over island, incl. N. ridge). Fagus # 4; 15 m., 40" dbh, buds still hard, not elongated, no leaves protruding, scales tight - this is buds general condition throughout island - Fagus not burst, tho many burst at Kaizaki! In same area Carpinus 50" dbh buds pale green & long but not open, while another 100' distant had lower part 100% buds burst into leaves 3 cm. (Variation in phenology among wid tree & among branches of same tree). In genl, Carpinus buds elongated & pale green but not burst into lvs. top Colin pass, same; Carpinus just starting to open, Fagus closed. Just E. of pass, Juglans buds smaller & elongated, with about 5% separated into 3cm. parts (lower levels, mostly w. finger-like separation). At higher level, start Fagus, canyon wider & more open, Acer palmatum (green twigs) 10 m., 12" dbh, buds turgid only, as at Kaizaki (also on a large we near trail or path E. of Shrine about 300m.). Another Acer (diabolicum?) about 200 m 20" dbh 10 mvs lvs. 4 cm & open. / Again on W. side above Hotel, 100M., tips of Alnus branches w. 2 cm. bunch of new pale green leaf. Rhodod. hasegawae - buds & lvs each about 2 cm long; slow growth. Crinum (sargentiae) tree - buds opened to 4 cm in closed leaf bunch; no open flowers. / At Shrine not terribly, who had walked around N. half of land E-W and at 1630 saw about 12
Fagus Kaizaki ahead!
