The Pears are full of flowers, so could be full of flowers later. This pear was bought as a Bartlett Pear, but I have guessed that it is a Kieffer Pear.

Freeze Burnt Flowers
The Ussuri Plum can handle extreme low temps and the flowers can also handle some cold weather. But in the above photo, some of the flowers did get burnt on this plum.
Ussuri Plum Flowers
The Ussuri Plums are full of flowers right now. It can be common for these early flowering trees to have their potential crops to be affected by spring freezes.
Manchurian Apricot Flower Display
Manchurian Apricots are reliable for flowers in early spring. But it is common for the freezes to destroy a potential crop. Not much of a disappointment though, as the fruit is low quality.
Nanking Cherry Flowering
My line of Nanking Cherries are full of flowers. Hopefully in early summer, The birds and I will have a lot of fruit to eat.
Frozen Landscape
Spring had to take a break today while everything was encased in ice. The Honeyberries and Pussy Willows start early in spring, so are more likely to experience freezing rain when breaking dormancy.
Snow Induced Evergreens
With a very late fall turning into a quickly, snow-covered winter, some plants kept green leaves under the snowline. Now with the warmer temps melting off the snow, I am seeing the green life.
Blackberry Snow
The Blackberries continue to keep their green leaves in this mild weather. The melting snow keeps the green in plain view.
Calville Blanc d’Hiver
Calville Blanc d’Hiver apple tree still had the leaves on it when the freezing rain hit the other day. The tree is bending to the ground, but now I shook some of the ice off, so it is straightening back out.
Iced Landscape
Some freezing rain has iced over everything on my Oasis.
