The cold snap last month that did in the south's peach crop hit Missouri, too. I was out yesterday seeing if any of my trees looked like they might not recover, but all my pecan, Carpathian walnut, almond, apple, peach, plum and cherry trees seem to be setting new leaves at last. I thought a two year old Whtiney crab apple was a goner because all it's leaves had died and it didn't seem to be coming back, but it's finally getting some new leaves. A Graniwinkle apple actually seems to have produced a few new blooms and may make some fruit. We may have lost the majority of the rose bushes. All went in last year, and of the twelve in the garden only one has obvious new growth showing. I'll wait for final judgement. The All-in-one almond was a surprise. It is described as "hardy", but I figured that meant it would survive a cold winter, not just shrug off the deep freeze we got in March after it had leafed out. The cold didn't even seem to do much more than singe the leaves. Hardy for sure, since it killed the leaves on about all the other trees.
Anyone else lost trees or shrubs?
