Plant Growth
Question Body:
I have several trees that were planted three to four years ago and this year after a harsh winter they have no leaves on them. The branches are still soft. Are they still alive and what can I do for them?
Answer Body:
If at this stage of the year there is no sign of leaf growth things are not well. Trees and plants need a full season of leaf growth to grow into healthy and sturdy specimens. They should be in full leaf right now. Scrape the bark and see if there is healthy sap green in colour or is it just brown. If there is green underneath and buds that might break you could give the tree a tip pruning plenty of water and hope for the best.
