Southern Blush, with a messy prune. I cut off the black parts but found some rot and I scrapped it out with a utility knife. The brown powder is cinnamon. I unfortunately knocked off its last leaf. I hope it doesn't need it now. Doh.
Pickering's top is dying. I'm guessing its in response to the absence of leaves. I read that fruit trees will abort branches that don't have photosynthesizing leaves (which explains a lot about my past trees). I'm still hoping that shoots will grow in the upper nodes and stop the downward die-back.
Pruned off the extra stub on Lancetilla. Unlike the other guys, it was still green and healthy. But to be safe, I pruned it according to what I read online.
Minor pruning on VP. I know understand why its other two branches died back; they didn't have leaves.
I tried to prune off the top stub on Glenn but couldn't get much because of fear of damaging the new growth. Like some of the others, its stub was turning black; although not as much.
Here is little original Julie. One of her tiny branch is dying back because it had no leaves. I am hoping the longer daylight hours will encourage growth.
