Two questions:
Do late blooming TBs as parents result in later blooming arilbred
children?
Do arilbreds show the same range of sensitivity to late spring freezes,
roller-coaster winter warm/hard freezes that TBs do? Any indication
that is controlled by the TB part of the heredity?
In other words, do TBs that bloom late enough to avoid or are tough
enough to thrive with the rollercoaster freezes that are such a pain in
the central part of the country yield arilbreds that also bloom
later/are tougher?
