Can trees get confused?
One of my Magnolia trees is confused! It has a giant bud that is ready to bloom and a second one close behind! How can this happen? I thought the whole tree was dead last spring. the whole middle section just dried up and died, while a couple outside branches looked like they were close behind.

I hope it does bloom! I'd love to see it-especially with everything else drying up and dying right now.

Fascinating! It may have been 'shocked' last year and gone dormant until now. I think it would be a good question for County Extension -- Gretchen V would know the answer...
