Garden: Cold weather affecting spring plants

The weather should be nice and warm this weekend, but earlier this week, it didn't feel much like spring. That had a lot of people wondering how the cold would affect their spring plants. We went to the Cape Fear gardener for answers.

apple and ornamental cherry no leaves yet

Submitted by Janet L (not verified) on Wed, 04/23/2008 - 8:32am.
We have 2- 3year old red delicious apple trees that haven't started pushing out leaves yet.also, we have a 3 year old ornamental cherry tree that hasn't started pushing out any leaves yet. We live in Rocky Point, NC and had 2 frosts since easter. The small branches, especially on the apples, are brittle with a few live bigger branches. Should we worry or just wait until our warmer weather arrives ? Please let us know. Janet L.
