Lat year I planted 50-plus assorted fruits tree (pear, plums, apples, persimmons, peaches, cherries). All leaved out and looked okay. THis spring about half did not leaf out and are dead though a dozen or so are breaking from below the graft. It did not get that cold here. Lowest temp was about +5F and even that was not on consecutive days.
Last winter was very dry. I never thought about needing to irrigate dormant trees in the winter but is it possible that a lack of winter moisture explains so many dead trees?
