I have a pistachio that hasn't leafed out yet, and I'm worried. The bark is
green underneath when I mark it with my fingernail. The branches are
limber. The bark is really cracked at the base of the tree. Do these leaf
out late?

I planted it two years ago, and it leafed late last spring also, but I don't
think it was this late.

My are a bit behind this year too. Probably won't leaf for another 2
weeks....

Mine is just barely starting to put on leaves. I don't think I would
worry yet.

Mine just started. It was even later last year. I would give it another
couple of weels before I would worry too much. And yes, they are
traditionally late.

All right! Thanks, everyone! I feel better now. It was in a 30-gal. tub,
and I got it at one of those mom and pop places that have plants sitting in
their pots in the same place for so long that they've rooted into the
ground. It was so heavy I had a hard time placing and planting it, and I
DON'T want it to die. This should be its first good year!
