Scion storage observation:

I wonder how many refrigerators average a temperature over 40 degrees?  The 
NAFEX
list often enough discusses keeping fruits (& veggies, if one tends to forget 
them &
let them rot) in a different refrig than your scionwood, because fruits & 
spoilage
give off ethylene gas.  
 
I get nervous, when I haven't collected scion yet, if the weather forecast is 
for a
day or 2 over 40, but I bet most refrig.s are above that.  No wonder scion 
breaks
dormancy in storage!
