Hi,
We've had an unusually warm winter here in New York. So much so that my pines are starting to move. They're mulched with pine needles under a thick grove of JWP that were planted 25 years ago in the ground. They wintered there very nicely last year, but this year's freakishly warm (high 50s on some days) winter seems to be encouraging root growth and shoots to turn green at the tips. The plum tree in the front entrance is already in bloom!
I don't have any photos, but I can see a few root hairs creeping out of the bottom of the pots along with signs of growth in their terminal buds. Their foliage is also starting to turn greener and they seem to be taking up water more quickly. Today was the first time I watered them all winter.
Is this normal?
