| Well, he's in Sunset Zone 23 (see his Subject line). But still, good to fill out your "Zone" field (see mine). We've had a very long, cold, wet winter, so don't worry. Things will start to pop for you. My Snow Queen nectarine is just starting to blossom. All my pears including my Seckel are still dormant, but obviously alive. All the things you've mentioned that have broken dormancy should by now and mine are also in the same state as yours - Dorsett Golden and Anna blooming, all poms leaving out, figs setting fruits and starting the leaf out on a few varieties, several of my very low chill stone fruits blooming. But, my Fuji, Red Fuji and Pink Lady apples still not broken dormancy yet, along with a couple of my higher chill hour stone fruits. Patience, grasshopper. If you're really worried about life or death, a quick scratch test will let you know if your tree is still alive or not. Green cambium equals dormancy. No green cambium equals a dead tree. Patty S. |

| Thanks friends. I updated my page to include my zone. I will give it a few more weeks before I am more concerned. |

| My pink lady, gordon and fuji are still asleep. Granny smith is just waking up. Plums are just waking up. I think this month your trees will start growing. |
