My dad told me some of these were looking bad. I got down to their place this weekend and found about 1/3 are dead or dying. Not positive if it was the late frost or borers. I suspect borers but I didn't have time to go through them closely. The few I did look at I thought I could see a hole but didn't have time to be sure.. The good news is they were sprouting suckers so some might survive. I'm sure some rain would help. I plan to thin these out in 5-10 years so this is just a head start on that and makes me glad I planted so many at this tight spacing.
