Lost 100% of pawpaw flowers up here in Wisconsin.  Trees just now leafing out 
very very slowly.  Apparently pawpaws don't have much tolerance for the -28F 
we had, or 50 days below 0.  C'est la vie.  Actinidia argutas got hit hard 
too, but I notice a few flowers forming.  Also every variety of peach I have 
in the ground here is flowerless, tho apricots planted in the same area are 
flowering.
