My Bedan are blooming right now, before any real leaves are present. This variety always leaves out really late here, but this behavior is new to me and seems somewhat ominous. These trees are just beginning to bear at 7 years on b.118. I'm sorry that this isn't strictly a thinning issue but close-ish? Has anyone observed this happening in Bedan or another late blooming variety?
