At Vancouver, North Pole and Liberty are in beautiful full bloom.

| Crabapple "Prairie Fire" |

| Apple "Karmijn de Sonneville" |
At battleground, there are the first blossoms open today for Golden Sentinel, Scarlet Sentinel, Jonagold, Honeycrisp, Karmijn de Sonneville, and the Prairie Fire Crabapple. So all of the diploids should be able to pollinate all of the others of these varieties. That just leaves the grafts and newly planted trees.
The Jonared I planted last month is starting to leaf out. The triple graft I planted in jan is leafing out too.

The new grafts are slower to leaf out. They need to establish full connection into the stock vascular supply.
