Plants I'm growing: First Blooms--Prunus Blireiana (2009)


Our double flowering plum tree (Prunus blireiana) started blooming the day before yesterday, February 15. Buds on the new apricot tree we planted last spring look set to start opening in the next day or two--probably as soon as we see the sun again. Today has been the fourth straight day of heavy rain--which is good. We have made up for some of the dryness of January, but we are still about seven inches below normal rainfall for this point in the season.
