All my nigras are fully dormant and usually are the last one waking up in the spring, last year it took ages for them to wake up and i had to scratch some wood to check for green colour to be sure they were alive lol.
Its a smart tree, really knows the right seasons here in Europe, doesnt get fooled by some hot spells in the late winter. Lol

Really Luis? Lol! We are so close but seem to have different climate (we are maybe 100-150 miles away from each other). Portugal is interesting, small country and so many microclimates from north to south, not mentioning the islands 
Maybe you have a nice microclimate in your area. You are so sucessful with semi tropicals and tropical plants.
This year i wont buy more tropicals or semi tropicals, they dont look good 
Uvaia, grumichama, cherry of rio grande are barely alive.
Atemoya and cherimoyas seem dead
Tropical guava/ Psidium guajava barely alive also
Tamarillo trees broke some branches with the storms but still alive.
On the other hand all araças are fine (Psidium cattleyanum), yellow and red are thriving.
White sapote is thriving also
And ofcourse i have all my mulberries
Hoping for a lot of growth this season and some fruit from the trees planted last year

Uvaia should resiste better… this year is so far the less cold here… lets see what we will get. The temp varies a lot from place to place and the frost formation too…

To be honest my uvaia barely developed last year, almost no growth… and now is looking almost dead
Even grumichama looks better than uvaia lol
Maybe its the spot i put them…
Where is your uvaia planted? Is it protected? Full sun?
Not sure if i shouldnt be transplanting them to another spot
You should wait for spring to see what happens… maby she is just adapting.

Now I really want a source for the himalayan mulberry, looks like a pakistan but narrow, longer and reddish

The “himalayan” specimens acquired by the USDA are from the southern steppes of the range, elevation up to 2km but low temperatures rarely below -5C due to latitude.

Should work ok here in Portugal, our winters were i am located rarely go around -5 celsius, summers around 30-35c, springs around 20-25 celsius
Even now its cold at night time but during the day around 12-15 celsius
Would love to get one, anyone has any source in Europe?

Were you able to find it in the US?
The 3 accessions at NCGR Davis are long on length and short on flavor for my tastes. They no longer distribute cuttings to the public. These accessions are kept for germplasm preservation and breeding programs.
