No sign of bug damage to the stem. It's been 95F-105F on average in my area, and I've watered/misted every day.
What are your experiences with transplant shock times?
Thanks!

When I start mine in the spring after being bare root for 6 months, I cut them back a little and watch for growth. If they stall I cut back some more and watch, repeat as needed. I wonder if you high temps may have something to do with the slow start.
