Here's one for the "Don't Get Discouraged" department:
I've been growing this zelkova for at least 20 years. When I transplanted it this spring, it looked mighty sad. March came & went. April slid by. May dribbled on. Nothing. On June 5, I saw green.
When I looked this morning, It had 1/4" leaves all over it. I can't tell you how I feel ... you already know!

Had a similar experience with a flowering apricot except I've only had
it a year. After bringing i out of winter storage I waited for it to
leaf out. It started to just last week. I'd just about given up. Now
it's covered in leaves.

Hi
I have two very nice Zelkova brooms....they are always the last to leaf
out...has been so for the last 12 years...I always hold my breath with them.
One summer one of them did not leaf out until the end of June.
As a general principle I always keep apparently dead trees for a
year...surprises do happen.

<< I always keep"dead" trees for a year >> says Pauline.
Me too. I call it the morgue; and it does have some surprises. Besides the
zelkova, this year there was a Chinese elm among the living dead.

In Phoenix, my Wisteria was last to leaf out. My

prune
the Zelkova so I'm just trimming until our second
growing
season in Oct.
