Plum tree not leafing out this spring

Question

Planted 2 plums trees last fall- a methley and a Burbank. Now in April the methley has leafed out, but not the Burbank. It appears to have green limbs and the leaf buds look ok. Is it just later than the methley?

Answer 1

If the branches are alive and bend but not break; give the tree more time.

Each year can be different in leaf out timing.
