Although I'm in Cornwall, I'm 5 miles inland, 500' East facing elevation -
we get the same winters as Dartmoor. Last year I lost a couple of 2 year old
cherry trees and I think our 7 year oldWisteriamay have perished.
It started to produce buds during the warm March, but now the frost has
blackened them and these buds about 4mm long and are seriously dead.
Q1 Will they form new buds this year, or can I assume theWisteriais dead?
If yes, it's a great pity, as it produced a fine display from year 3
onwards:-

It is unlikely to be dead, and will almost certainly sprout later.
You won't get many flowers this year, if any. *Definitely leave it
alone until August, and you might even leave it alone until next
year - some such plants can skip a year and still regrow, but I
don't know if it is one.

My wisteria which I grew from seed 11 years ago, took 8 years to get
its first flowers, and was wonderful last year:

died this winter when in Lucerne,Switzerland we had a record
16 days in a row of sub-zero (Centigrade - sub-freezing point)
temperatures day and night.
Two bonsai plants also died, and my three clematis died. One third
of all plants (mainly in pots) died in the Swiss garden centers as
well, they said on TV.

It was very sad.
