I am noticing drastically varied stages of bud progression on my apple trees. I have a plot of 5 young trees. Nonetheless, some flower buds are approaching tight cluster while others are only at green tip. Terminal buds at 1/2 inch green while others still at silver tip... The variation is as diverse within each tree as it is amongst all 8. Is this normal? I applied a BD tree paste this spring when the trees were dormant and the clay/manure paste is still covering some buds - perhaps this is retarding the development of some buds?
Thanks,

Jon (Zone 4/5) - Rutland, Vt.
