Jon, that was an articulate and correct explanation of the current thought
on chilling units. However, I should point out that it's full of holes
when it comes to apples, such as how "low chill" Anna and Dorset Golden
(Bahamas) grow just fine in zone 4 upstate New York, where they blossom in
Thanks Jon ! We can study this over the holiday as it gets even WARMER!
Really, this will be good to understand.
Have a nice holiday.
