 Apple already leafing out
Any one else in western Oregon/Washington seeing this? It is not left over leaves but leaves that are coming out of the buds, green and healthy?

Taken 12/31/2011 and it's not just part of the tree. It's the whole tree.

That is weird. I've never seen anything like it.

 Re: Apple already leafing out
Wow, Greg… You couldn’t have even gathered scions! That is weird. Well, fortunately none of mine have decided to do that. It’s gotta be tough to prune, too; dodging those elongating leaves. What are they looking like now, as ‘true spring’ approaches? Have they bloomed

 Re: Apple already leafing out
Heck, at this rate you will have apples by June! lol. Very interesting. Is this a newly planted tree or is it old and established?

 Re: Apple already leafing out
Happens here every year, but we're weird; what variety is it?

 Re: Apple already leafing out
I noticed that Chestnut crab leafs out sooner than all the rest. Like Mid Feb.
