Living in N. Colorado is a tough place to cultivate trees of any kind given the hard clay soils and cold snaps common every Spring. The tree in question is, I believe a Green Ash ( 4-5" trunk) that has been in an apparent dormant state since last Spring ('04)---it had buds that were just beginning to break open, then suddenly stopped during several cold days. Later in the summer the tree attempted to restart with some new buds, but stopped. It remains bare but limber and is green just under the bark yet this Spring. I'm mystified. Thanks for any info, Joe Evanoski.
