Re: phenology/bloom times


It is possible the kinds of records being discussed do already exist.

In SW Idaho, back in the days I was involved in the fruit industry and raising apples and plums, we had considerable contact and cooperation with the weather service.

Since peach, plum and apple bloom times in that area and in the Columbia Basin, Washington state, are determined (or at least, predicted from) "degree days above 40 degrees" the weather service has kept records annually of degree days, let alone daily maxima and minima, for a very long time.

The iris and spring bulb bloom dates did not correlate perfectly with the fruit trees, I suppose because of the soil depth of the root systems and the rates of change of temperature in the soils progressing from surface to depth, making the shallow-rooted plants more responsive to modest warming than the deeper-rooted trees.

Nonetheless, the correlation did exist, even if less than 1.00.  I would imagine thoseFrom sentto-8878230-2171-1080236269-listarchive=mallorn.com@returns.groups.yahoo.com  Thu Mar 25 11:37:51 2004

Hi all,

I have been doing some registration on Reticulata and Juno's in my garden some years ago, I still have them if anyone is interested.

  There is really no argument. Regions experience changes both warmer and colder and continue to do so. Global refers to the heat content of the whole planet. It is that data from everywhere that is assembled to define this situation. As an ecologist I have no doubt that the earth is warming, but I will leave discussions of what we can, will, or should do about it to other forums. Despite the fact that you have to stick the thermometer in thousands of places to take the worlds temperature, we now have data that goes back 100 years and there is a steady rise. The analysis of risk and the benefits of attacking the situation verses the costs are all political  and open to some interpretation, but there is no credible data that says this globe is not getting warmer.

    Bill,
         You are right on that...   One thing I have thought of is the way the citrus belt keeps being pushed farther southward.  In 1880, Oranges were grown as far north as Tifton, Georgia. Ever since, it has been pushed farther and farther southward.  
         Up to 1894, this area was a major citrus growing area.  Nearby Citrus County owes its name to the massive groves that once existed there.  In 1894, a series of brutally cold weather fronts, some with snow, destroyed 100% of the groves here.  The temperature during this time fell to as low as -1 F, possibly a little colder in the hills.
         In the 1920's there was a marginally successful attempt to bring back the Citrus crops here, but for the most part, they kept getting wiped out.  The winter of 1977 finished it off with yet another trip to -1 F and snow having been on record here.  There were some more cold snaps throught the 1980's.
         Under the current patterns, it is far too cold to grow those crops here.  The only Citrus trees in this area now are those of hobby growers in very sheltered locations, and those are "replanted" trees.  
         When I first visited Florida in 1975, I remember seen massive Orange groves on the hills northwest of Orlando.  When I was there in 1986, it was nothing but dead trees.
