    Tired of the cold fronts

    I have lost all my buds on the nectarine trees, over half of the buds on the peach trees and close to half on the pear trees. Some of my Apple trees have early buds and I need this frost to stop

    there is some good news....I did see several cruising females late Saturday afternoon at Anna in 3 feet or less and even found a few empty beds. The next few weeks should be getting really good.

    Sorry to hear about your trees I hope they recover. I may be going down to Anna Friday to see if I can scrounge up a couple.

    Growing stone fruit in Virginia is almost impossible. Too much variation with late winter and early spring temps.
