In the past 2weeks we have gotten 70+ inches of snow. My backyard has a snow dept of 40+ inches. I am happy though this means that my mascadine grape are insulated and protected, same for my asian persimmon. They survived last winter and hopefully this one too.
Fall planting is the best, if the flower buds die back, then it just means that you will not have to manually kill the fruits and all the energy will go into root production like it ahould so that the next year it will have a good root system to handle the nutrient demand and weight demand of fruits.
Iterations are fine, we don't have to be perfect
