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.
