The late blooming fruits are not affected by early spring rains, which gives them a better chance compared to Asian pears, plums, peaches, and cherries. The persimmons have lots of nice flower buds. Some of those, and some leaves, have hail damage, but I think most should pull through. Some fruit trees, maybe most, don't bear the first year they bloom. Yates American Persimmon has lots of little flower buds, for the first time. So we'll see about that one.
Grapes are an exception, usually bear grapes if they bloom, even the first year. This is the first year they have a lot of flowers at the Battleground place. Some are 2, 3, or 4 years from planting or cuttings.

Unlike last yr, there's no spring figs. Its just slow I hope. There was a lot of rain and I thought it should be baring right now.
