April 10.
Cheney elm, many anthers shed pollen, probably 7th. Some are killed.
Salix purpurea apparently will not open for four or five days.
2 P M. — 44º and east wind (followed by some rain still the next day, as usual).
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, April 10, 1860
Cheney elm, many anthers shed pollen, probably 7th. See note to April 7, 1859 ("The Cheney elm looks as if it would shed pollen to-morrow,[no], and the Salix purpurea will perhaps within a week")
Salix purpurea apparently will not open for four or five days. See April 13, 1859 ("The Salix purpurea will hardly open for five days yet."); April 22, 1859 ("The Salix purpurea in prime, out probably three or four days; say 19th.")
