Proof of life! Although I will be removing them, these water sprouts appears on one of my Southern Belle dwarf nectarine trees. Following instructions attached to the tree, I did not water these trees during the winter time. This is the trees’ first winter in my garden. With spring around the corner, I will feel comfortable to remove them in a few days. Leaving them intact, these water sprouts will only divert energy from the productive parts of the tree. Very eager for the first true leaves (and eventually fruits)!
