   Evans Cherry trees are unhappy in my climate.  The 3' boles fail to 
harden off upon the onset of Winter so I am encouraging adventitious growth 
from just above the graft.  Sometimes just scraping off a bit of outer bark 
will encourage new growth - it doesn't work every time, unfortunately - I 
wish I had thought to do the same to peaches that failed.
