Nope...it's Fuyu. (I know... ) Fuji is an apple...

I've heard good things about them, just never had one, before.

Yep. That’s right called my dad since that what he’s called it but he said it’s the way you spell it. Just come natural for Fuji he said. His tree has been loaded the past few years.

Planted A Japanese Persimmon tree a few years back and it has done very well. Lots of volunteers all around it now from a few inches to three feet.
It’s in lower AL if anyone wants any of the volunteers they should dig up easy

Okay, home now, and got a good look at my citrus trees. I had a new very small kumquat that I'd just put in, it's lost...dead wood all the way to the mulch line, and no new growth. The satsumas and kumquats that were already established suffered minimal to no damage, and will all be fine. The new satsuma, blood oranges, and cara cara oranges were all severely damaged, lot of wood lost, but all are showing signs of new growth and should recover. I have several apples and a couple plums leafed out and blooming, everything else is just starting to split the buds, including the fuyu persimmon I just put in. No split buds on any pecans I've looked at, yet, so there's still another frost coming, hopefully it'll be light enough that it doesn't cause petal drop or fruit drop, but we'll see.

DOA were you able to protect the trees this year or were they just out in the open? Mine are against the house and I had no damage to my satsumas, they are full of buds fixing to open. I hope my bee man has some bees in the pasture next week. I'm going to order a couple of more trees next week.

They're not close to anything. The new trees were covered, but 16° is 16°! The established trees were not covered.

If I'd been home I could've maybe saved them the damage by building bonfires up in the orchard...the lowest temps were fairly brief, maybe 3 hours total over that week, and radiant heat from 2 or 3 bonfires would probably have significantly reduced the impact of the freeze on the trees. But I was at 400 miles away, at work, and 'Huntress was 600 miles away...so all we could do was cover them and hope for the best.

Citrus are tropical plants, so I knew adding them to the orchard was a gamble, and I'm not terribly upset...they are, after all, going to survive, with the exception of the small kumquat. That one I rooted from a cutting, so I'll just take some more cuttings and start over with it.
