A little sad here in Virginia that our 2-yo peach tree gave us a profusion of nice pink blossoms 3 weeks ago, but got nipped by a freeze overnight and lost all those infant fruit. She gave us five nice peaches last July. But she’s fighting back with a couple dozen more blossoms coming now. She seems to know her previous planned 2017 family was not to be, so she’s trying again. Go! Peach.

Thanks for the update. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the peach. We have a lot of that trouble here in MO. Lucky to get a crop once every 4 years.

We have an apple tree named Lazarus; it was here and ancient when we bought the house three years ago. The main part is dead, but somebody grafted on a different variety for pollination and the graft is still going strong. I planted two apple seedlings nearby, which of course had to be Mary and Martha.

Not expecting fruit this year from Lazarus, but I’ll be happy if it just survives. (On the other hand, last year there were three blossoms and this year there’s about 20. Progress?)
