Dan,Thanks for that thought.  We are deficient in zinc (as well as just about 
everything else except Mg, Mn and Fe), so it may be a nutritional problem.   
I hadn't thought of that; I guess I'll have to leave it in for two more 
years, to see if giving it micronutrients this year makes a difference in 
2013....  Muffy Barrett

---------- Original Message ----------
I remembered reading that a zinc application just before leaf drop made 
flower buds more hardy, at 
least for apricots.  Perhaps that goes as well for cherries.  I don't know if 
this was a spray or not.

"Dr. Craig Ledbetter, the USDA-ARS apricot breeder in Fresno, CA, believes 
that apricots have fairly 
high zinc requirements and that a fall zinc application shortly before leaf 
drop apparently makes 
the flower buds more hardy and better developed come spring."

    My Actinidia kolomitka buds never froze here in North Central Minnesota.
Mine grew on a slight rise and received only morning sun.
