Can't stand it!!!! Bad enough the daffies, hyacinths, crocus, dutch iris, etc, think it is spring - but this is a HUGE, old maple!!!!! I have a fine coat of ice in the back yard... and my poor maple thinks it is spring??????????? Bits of red are showing at the branch tips.... I cut all my blooming narcissus to bring in yesterday ... I have dozens of purple iris throwing up bud stalks. This is just not right.
