VoodooChile is on a distinguished road
I am considering erecting a clear poly tent around this tree to create a temporary hothouse that will force bud break, much like you would force bare-root Redbuds to break dormancy before lining out in the field.

The weather here this Spring has been pretty bizarre, very warm and dry early on, then unseasonably cool and wet, with an odd hot day thrown in. I suspect that might be the cause...
