Early Bloom Brings High Risk Of Freeze Losses
March 20, 2012 
Mild weather weather conditions can have a significant effect on tree fruit, according to Cornell University researcher Terence Robinson.
In the latest issue of Cornell’s “Scaffolds” Newsletter, Robinson says the physiology of trees during dormancy is a highly complex phenomenon. The tree’s internal growth inhibitors affect dormancy timing, and early warm temperatures followed by a cold spell can dramatically affect this timing.
