I have been, for years, keeping a record of fall dormancy initation. It
is fairly related to, but not strictly related to bloom time. Here an
exception is Turning Point, which bloomed almost 8 weeks ago, but is
still in near perfect condtion. But in digging a plant I find, thet the
basel bud devlopment is very late, and so the "problem" of the buds
"forcing" at the petiole base, is not as great. I am not so worried
about how they look here in October, but if they still are in good
condtion then , they will be really great in August.
Thanks
Ran
