I'm in Knoxville too, not far from Dean. My cherry tree is fine, still
blooming, but a limb was damaged by a storm last week. Had a tree man out
looking at it today as the limb needs to be taken off cleanly - it's just
hanging there. I asked him about my beauty berry bushes that are close to
the tree; they had been starting to leaf out but the leaves are turning
brown & brittle. He said they should be okay and should send out new shoots
this spring; hope he's right as the bluebirds and mockingbirds sure love
those berries in the fall. I don't think my tulip tree is black but haven't
looked closely; probably would have noticed something like that.
Eastern Bluebirds in my nestbox. She had laid 5 eggs and they hatched out
sometime in the last few days as I've seen her bringing small green tidbits
to the nest but I haven't opened it to check due to the cold. Hopefully it
will warm up enough and I'll take a look later in the week.
