We ended up with a late frost. Some plants had minor damage, like this Chinese Catalpa tree.

How to Top a Tree
The harsh winter topped my White Pine(Pinus strobus). This pine tree was in an exposed location, planted for windbreak use.
Peach Flowers
After an amazing harvest of more than a thousand pounds of peaches last year, I am only seeing a few peach flowers. The winter not only killed flower buds, but also killed some branches and trees outright.
Crimson King Maple Seed
The young Crimson King Maple has started forming seed. Hopefully the seed matures so that I can plant it.
Singled Out
While the Japanese Larches(Larix) are leafing out, the Eastern White Pine has gone the opposite direction. The winter has been tough on many of my evergreens, such as these Ponderosa Pines in the below photo.
Zestar! Apple
My Zestar Apple had its first apple last year. Maybe this year more blooms equals more apples.
Amur Maackia
Amur Maackia(Maackia amurensis) has been a slow growing tree for me. But these trees are very attractive when they leaf out in spring.
Crimson King Maple Flowering
A little guest has enjoyed the flowers on the Crimson King Maple. Which is kind of odd to have king in the name for a tree that produces flowers and seed.
Firecracker Crabapple Flowering
My Firecracker Crabapple is flowering for the first time. The crabapples on this tree suppose to have red flesh.
Elm Seed
I noticed some of my young Prospector Elms have developing seed on them. This was the first year they starting doing this.
