  • Subject: [NAFEX] Winterkill hypothesis
  • Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2008 07:55:24 -0500

    I grow alot of zone 4 and zone 5 fruits here in zone 3.  I have had excellent results until this year.  This year, the out-of-zone plants exhibit winterkill in proportion to where they would normally be grown.  I had an extra month of Winter/Spring and I'm beginning to suspect that plants remember how many months Winter/Spring should take back in their native habitat and respond accordingly.  Does this hypothesis match with what you are seeing in your orchard?
