Vince #3, Negra De Agde and Beers Black budded out a month ago and have hardly any growth and my Improved Celeste budded 2 weeks ago and is surpassing the others.
Can anyone tell me why?

I’m thinking it’s the up and down weather. Has it been fairly dry as well. I am hoping my trees will be rejuvenated with this week’s rainy weather.

Yes it's dry. We've had some rain but not the "April Showers bring May flowers" kind.

I see there is rainy and chilly weather in the forecast this week for your location.
I probably need to add some compost on top of my in grounds to encourage them to grow stronger and healthier.

Those cooler nights isn't affecting your Green Michurinska. It's full of growth. Took this picture yesterday.

Nice, looking really good.
It doesnt seem to mind the cool temps like some others do.

How long is each ring?
They come in rolls of 40 feet. If you want a 3 foot wide ring, it's 3 * 3.14 (PI). So you need about a 9 foot piece to make a 3 foot diameter ring. I started with 3 foot rings, but later added 2 foot diameter rings (2 * 3.14) = ~ 6 foot long piece.
The rolls usually come with plastic spikes as well to hammer into the ground and hold the mulch rings in place.
They are so worth it!

No. They didn’t die all the way but for some reason they are only budding out from the bottom. Not from roots but from the buds at the bottom. It’s weird. The trunk above them is green.
