Not too far east of mIEKAL, the three tiny pawpaws that we planted last
spring appear to be dead; we'll keep checking them to see if any sprouts
appear. The Actinidia kolomicta and polygama look unaffected by the winter,
most apples look great and are blooming far better than I expected given the
heavy crop last year. Pears appear fine, although few flowers (that may be
related to last year's heavy crops). Some grapes look good, but most have
winter damage; some are extremely damaged. The peaches took a hit. Reliance
is nearly dead, contender lost 50% or more of it's leaf buds, and Madison has
just a tiny bit of live wood on it. Seedling peaches that I planted out two
and three years ago appear to be completely dead except for the Siberian
seedlings which are completely unaffected. The Harogem apricot that I planted
two years ago looks GREAT, although if it had flower buds on it they dropped
off. The 3 two year old Carmine Jewel cherries don't appear to have noticed
the cold, but they also didn't bloom much (half dozen flowers, maybe).
Admittedly one of them was severely pruned by the deer.Muffy

Lost 100% of pawpaw flowers up here in Wisconsin. Trees just now leafing out
very very slowly. Apparently pawpaws don't have much tolerance for the -28F
we had, or 50 days below 0. C'est la vie. Actinidia argutas got hit hard
too, but I notice a few flowers forming. Also every variety of peach I have
in the ground here is flowerless, tho apricots planted in the same area are
flowering.

In SW Iowa, we lost our Magnolia tree, our 35 year old grapes, blueberries,
lingonberries, black raspberries, and our pawpaw. I loved the pawpaw but
don't know if I am going to plant another. We had bitter cold with no snow
cover. The frost went deeper than it has in years. Still curious what was
the trigger to kill these varieties. My apricots did have a light bloom and
the apples had a heavy bloom. Judson L. Frisk zone 5?
