Second week of June turned out to be cloudy and rainy. The sun was out only on Monday and Tuesday. A strong storm dumped monthly worth of rain in one day of about 4.5", with overall total over last 7 days close to 6".
The sequoias grew modestly with just a bit over 0.5" on average.
Some continued to branch out and bend with #65 "losing" 1.5" due to that. When I measured #65 and then looked at the previous record, I was surprised by such a significant loss. So I re-measured one more time and this time with a picture taken:
The leader #34 appears to be doing fine after dead branch removal, but it still struggles to add any significant growth. The top cluster above damaged mid section looks very busy with many new areas, resembling a mini-forrest two feet above ground but without a strong leader. A side branch pushed the overall heighт by a few tens of an inch but it still remains to be seen who will get to be the leader.
#31 and #63 posted stronger than average growth of almost 2" each. #63 and #38 are the fastest growing samples this season so far.
