Looks like this week is the week for some of my trees to wake up.
I have many trees and species but the one that wake up first is Chinese Quince. I already saw some of the buds started to move.

I’m just 4hrs northeast of Houston in Louisiana, things are beginning to wake up here too.
 
If you're getting 80s, you are going to have everything break at once. get to repotting. Hopefully you won't get more freezing weather in the coming month or so. Feb/March is iffy here in N. Va. March always brings warm ups then freezes and snow. I have to keep an eye on how fast buds "move" and then try to get things to slow down. Leaves in late February are a problem for me. In Houston, not so much.

My Chinese quince also going but admittedly always is the first one. Checked my note from last year… very similar. Though seems next two weeks here in Shanghai really cold… as oppose to last year when it started to warm up slowly
 
My shohin Chinese quince... from... 🤔 Florida? Is way ahead of my other one. But as stated they are always early...and my southern trees always wake early until they fall truly into my seasons.

We are to see 60's here. I'll be venting. But also watching trees closely. I've new ones from down south needing repots. This one here is under grow lights in the cold greenhouse.
 
33 F in my cold room right now... at least the pots aren't frozen solid like they were a week ago:p .
Seriously jealous of the warm weather right now, but I'm ok with the cold weather I currently have. I'll be doing a lot of work trying to keep things in the 30's in there for the next 6 weeks or so.
 
It is 27 F outside my house right now at 1PM in the afternoon 🥶
I think my trees will be safely asleep for a while
