I have 3 apple trees that seem to have been stuck in dormancy. My wife and I bought one Dorsett Golden and two Anna apples 3-4 years ago (I think) for our side yard where we lost 8-9 oak trees to drought the year before. The trees were 2' twigs and the only bud break we 've seen have been suckers and two leaves on the Dorsett. �Both varieties are low chill and I'm pretty sure there were enough chill hours over each of the two previous winters. Looking at them they appeared dead except the leader was flexible and a scratch test showed some green. They remain about 2' still today. This year I decided I waited long enough and ordered a Fuji, a Gala, and a Pink Lady to replace them. Of course, as soon as I placed the order the original 3 trees decided to break hibernation. Grrr. �My question: is a ~3 year hibernation even possible?�
