Not to mention I'm seeing chance of snow in the forecast...

I wonder if there are different strains of Bali / Evans floating around. I have Bali from St Lawrence & they are loaded with flowers / fruit starting with their fourth year. On the other hand, I had an Evans grafted on Mazzard that died back to the rootstock.
