Thank you! Palisade is on the west slope of the rockies and tends to be about 5 degrees warmer than Denver. Typically bloom is mid-april. My peach trees at home were about to bloom, but it is now snowing and they will be destroyed given we have 4 straight nights in the 20's this weekend. No peaches again this year... at least it is only a 4 hour drive to Palisade. Last year even they lost 95% of the crop in a record late April deep freeze.
