Will it be a hard winter on fruit trees?

don555
11 years ago

In my area,most apple trees still seem to have most of their leaves and cherry trees and bushes also still hold a lot of leaves. A year ago all the trees were bare weeks ago. I'm worried that fruit trees didn't harden up very well this fall and combined with the cold late October and early November weather (-20 this morning) that could mean quite a bit of winter injury.
