[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1692182, member: 18945"] Most of the fruit bearing trees here were killed of by the Big Freeze at the end of last winter. Many leafed out, blossomed, but began dying shortly afterwards. Blueberry, all kinds of citrus, plum, and even some of the native pear trees. My Scuppernong muscadine vine put on lots of new foliage and runners and is about 2/3 ready for picking but not anywhere as many clusters as last year. Wild Blackberry was non existent this year. Plants look ok but no fruit. Roses... 2 died, and 5 more look about 1/2 dead. They all had blooms very early spring, but leaves started dropping right afterwards and I don't hold out much hope for them. I'm hoping to at least save the one white climbing rose that has been in my family for many decades and mine came from a cutting that came from a cutting that came from my great grandmother's original white rose she brought to Texas from Alabama in the 1800s. That freeze killed a lot of plant life here. There are thousands of dead palm trees all over Texas. Coldest spell in 125 years. (didn't phase the invasive Chinese Tallows here tho.) (A white rose has been part of my surname's family crest for over 5 centuries.) [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_the_Roses[/URL] [/QUOTE]
