Does Atlanta get that many hours at 45F in the winter?

Apple* 400-1,800
Apricot* 350-1,000
Asian Pear (Chinese) 400-600
Asian Pear (Japanese) 300-750
Avocado 0
Blackberry 200-700
Blueberry (Florida) 0-200
Blueberry (northern) 700-1,200
Chestnut 400-750
Citrus 0
Crabapple 300-500
Currant 800-1,500
European pear 600-1,500
European plum 700-1,800
