Budding & Bloomin”

These two trees are red plums and they’ve tried so hard to bloom and keep getting bit back by frost.

All of the peach and cherry trees have budded and killed. Fruit from them this summer will be a miracle.

We have three pear trees fully budded and should have been killed by our 9* and 19* temps Sunday and Monday. We’ll see!!

What’s really weird is the apple orchards, most trees are just started budding and one crabapple in the orchard beside the house is in full bloom and leafing. It’s always the first to come out. The early blooms are great for the honeybees on these unusually warm days in March.

Then this week one of the peach trees rebloomed but I think next weekend, end of the month, cold temperatures are coming back.

Peach tree bloom in March.

Guess we’ll just wait and see what Mother Nature provides!!
