@Oberon,
I think you and I were the last to have blooms last year. The first pips on a couple of my NOIDs and Blaze have started showing just yesterday. The spring is late overhere. The Forsythias are late; I use them as a reference. I migth be the last to go this year.
The TPs are just forming buds. Rockii might be the first to bloom. I cannot wait to see it. In addition, I had to prune my old High Noon and Hoki. They lost several old branches that were injured last year due to the ice storm; a tree broke and felt on them. I was hoping to save the old branches, but it didn't work. At least I can try to make these two TPs more Asian looking and expose the wood. I wonder if they will have less flowers this year.
