Counted 24 quarter-size brebas on Italian Honey planted in the North, residual heat side of my hoophouse today. Celeste has one nickle sized one.
Ten of the eleven trees planted in the unheated addition to the hoop are showing growth, all were killed to the ground. The Italian Honey there is barely showing growth, no actual leaves yet, just two little buds, all others have leaves. I may dig the Honey up and put it in the heated side next winter to see if it produces brebas earlier than on the residual heat side since it most likely will not have wood to survive in the addition. Temperatures got to teens a time or two if I remember correctly. Nothing yet from what was a very small Blue Giant, looks like it may have frozen even the roots.
