My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

American Beech dormancy?

19 years ago

How long does it take for an American Beech to come out of dormancy? I have one, and the buds haven't even started swelling yet! It's been warm for a couple weeks now and I would think it's buds would have at least swelled. I scratched it's bark about a week ago and it seemed green. Please help! Is it dead, alive, or on the brink?

Thank you for any advice!
