Please share when you notice signs of life on your fruit trees and bushes. Are they earlier or later than in 2021? https://gardenandgossip.org/showthread.p...ht=blossom

I have flowers on 2 (out of 3) peach trees, Stella cherry tree, Quince buds but not fully open. Most of the pears have buds but no sign of petals yet.
Nothing much happening on the apples or plums.
Buds on some raspberries and blueberries

If I get a plum for every flower thats on the plant I will be a happy chappy.  I have had the tree in a pot for three years and never had a plum off it.....yet!

No sign of blossom on anything but ornamental trees here. Time to be jealous of Veggie again

Sorry JJB but mine are in full swing with some now going over. Cherry plums in paddock are now finishing up they were flowering three weeks ago, apricot in patch now starting to go over (fingers crossed that I get fruit this year, I think the squirrels pinched the young unripe fruit last year), the peaches and necterine are fully out in the patch and my aprimera plum is a mass of blossom and smells fab near the pond and is just buzzing with life. So they are on a roll, not long for the other plums and the pear buds look fat and ready to burst, then the apples will finish it all off but not for a while.
1 seed, 2 seed, 3 seed, 4....
5 seed, 6 seed, 7 seed, more!

WOW NG, I'm still jealous, but TBH if I had blossom now it would only get frosted and beget no fruit, so I'm happy to wait. I'm not sure why I'm bothered the apple trees are carp anyway but the pears seems to get clobbered by the cold every other year. We're all in or own little micro climate, aren't we

JJB - you seem to be somewhere, just south of the North Pole, while the rest of us live where we say we do
Flowers on the apricot and the 3rd peach tree now.  .

No sign of blossom on the apple or plum trees here either, JJB. However, the peach and cherry trees are covered with flowers.
