Dormancy and Chilling Hour Requirements
Definition
A model explaining that fruit trees have a biological requirement for dormancy (rest) triggered by prolonged cold temperatures, during which the tree's buds reset and prepare for spring flowering. The required cold is measured in 'chilling hours' (hours below a threshold temperature, typically 45°F). Without sufficient chilling hours, the tree won't flower properly and won't fruit.
