So I've got a plum tree that was doing great last year. It had huge growth and was honestly my best performer. Im located in northern part of country and we are coming out of an extremly hard winter. Everything I plant is either rated for my zone or below.

That, said, this plum tree (burbank) flowered and then started to slowly leaf out. However, half of it stopped and all the flowers turned brown. The other half continued to flower and leaf out like normal. So now I have a tree where half is naked and the other half is full of green leaves and flowers.

I did a scratch test and it's still green inside. Im honestly not sure what the deal is. It has no signs of disease or injury. Also, everything seems incredibly off this year. Everything is taking so long to bud and leaf out. Ive already lost several trees that just straight up died over winter despite being incredibly healthy last year.

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. I've got clay soil I think it might be nitrogen iasue because the leaves look palish green this year.

I guess for now im just going to leave it for another month and then prune off all the branches that dont leaf out.

Title says it all. I have clay soil and live in the northern part of America. Was really passionate about growing blueberries (have around 20 high bushes currently) and they have fought me the entire way.

I've planted them all on raise mounds to ensure good drainage due to the clay, amended with lots of organic matter and mixed in with native soil, have consistentently applied elemental sulfur to improve acidity, mulch with pine needles and pine shavings. Etc....

However, they are weak and pathetic looking. Some have been in the ground for 4 years and have barley grown. The only variety that seems to do somewhat well is patriot. Elliott seem to do the absolute worse. This spring I got so frustrated and cut 50% of them down the crown to hopefully get some sort of restart.

If I knew what I know now I would have just planted honey berries in huge quantities because they absolutely thrive in my soil.

Does anyone have any advice?

My next move is going to be propagating the honey berries I have and ripping out the blueberries come fall and replacing them with the honey berries.

Anyone have any experience with this? Car gurus has car listed with frame damage but Carfax doesn't say anything about frame being damaged or any type of accident. To my understanding car gurus uses auto checker and not CarFax.

Which one is correct? The car started out as a rental if this helps any. Dealer just said that car gurus automatically puts that tag on.
