From Florida to Utah Red Emperor tulip leaves are pushing out of the soil this week. Do you see a pattern for emerging Test Gardens?
"This is pretty early for this part of Utah, but it's also been a warm winter lately."

"We have had very unusual weather for the Middle Tennessee area. One tulip has emerged 3 inches. Hope it doesn't freeze in the upcoming cold."

"Oh no...we have noticed that the bunnies are enjoying the tender leaves of our tulips. "
