Stupid apple tree

I guess this apple tree thinks it is spring time already....









Doesn't realize that it is only early January.

What beautiful blossoms!!! Hopefully there won't be a freeze and maybe you will get apples. Silly tree!!
Is that giant bamboo in the background?

Yeah, we might have to throw a tarp over that tree when a late freeze comes through. One of the other apple trees has some buds swelling on it as well like it want to put out flowers or new leaves. None of the other plants are acting goofy.

That bamboo is kind of on the small size. I think the biggest culm I've see from it is only about two and a half inches. It's called "crookstem" because many of the shoots will have sharp bends here and there. One of these days I need to just walk around and video my bamboo groves. But unless I can get Connie to volunteer to stand among the culms, it's kind of hard to tell the size of them.

Jealous, Will be late early to mid may before I see that in person.

Figured I might as well get photos of these early blooming flowers before that predicted low of 26 degrees Saturday morning blitzes them.
