I even saw it snow one year, when both were blooming. The dogwood trees are in bloom and the redbud are starting to bloom in eastern KY. Should be other way around. Easter is this Sunday. These same little winters also happen in Kentucky. Right now we are going through Locust winter, according to this article. Also when the snowball bushes bloom we get a cool spell.
I found out a lot of information about the winters in Tennessee the winters come at a little different time as all of the states the weather is not the same but I just love finding out about different things. I just wanted to add to this string for others to see later. All of this usually was past by the middle of May and the ground would warm enough to put out tomato plants into the garden. There is always one little lone tree that blooms white blooms in the woods that exactly corresponds with this particular cold snap cold front each year….
My grandmother always talked about strawberry winter. This is probably going to be the weirdest one on here. Just curious if anyone else had ever heard about this. I grew up in L. My husband and I were debating on this. If my memory is right, the last one is less painful. Could be the same this year. Blackberry Winter seemed prolonged this year but we had a wonderful profusion of flowers.
Promises to be a bumper crop. I love the old lore of Tennessee and feel privileged to have met many wonderful older folk when I first came to this beautiful state over 40 years ago. They had so much to impart to anyone interested enough in listening. Thank you for creating the site and sharing this. I have lived in the Knoxville area all of my 65 years. So has my whole family.

Once stressed, trees become attractive to a long host of insect and disease pests. And once that happens, the dogwood is rarely the winner.
The kousa dogwood is a slightly different story. Once established in the ground, it is far more tolerant of drought and poor soils. While still not what you might call a bomb-proof tree, it has a distinct cultural adaptability advantage over its North American cousin.
Now to be clear, we love both species and use them liberally throughout our gardens at Yew Dell and recommend their use all around town. The key is to get the right one for your spot and then to gloat over it to your snowbird friends! Arguably one of the prettiest times of the year in southeast Oklahoma, spring brings that wonderful reprieve from winter; warmer weather lets us again enjoy the outdoors without so many layers, and the region is awash in the beauty that comes with springtime blooming.
And dogwood trees are an area favorite when it comes to spring blooms. Since the late s, dogwood trees have been used as ornamental additions to landscaping here in the North America. The trees can grow up to 30 feet tall, and are likely to have a canopy that spans up to 30 feet as well. What makes the tree so desirable for ornament are the beautiful flowers that range from white to nearly red, depending on which of the 60 species is present.
Just 20 minutes south of Broken Bow, and approximately 35 minutes south of most of our vacation cabins, downtown Idabel comes to life during the first weekend of each April. This year, the event happens at the very start of the month on April 1,
