Hello,
Will five days of shipping break Scion dormancy?
I'm getting my scions late this year, and I was wondering if anyone would have an idea of how the warm temperatures during shipping affect scion dormancy? The Scions have been in refrigeration at the company that I bought them from in Tennessee for several months, but they will be in transit for at least five days according to the post office tracking number. I have no idea of what the temperature during shipping will be, but I assume that the scions will probably
experience some high temperatures above 60 degrees until they get here. Will this be
enough to break dormancy?
I plan to get them in the refrigerator as soon as they're delivered.
I'm not sure why I ordered so many scions. I already have too many
local ones collected and I almost don't have enough
trees to graft them on. This seems like a perpetual problem that I make for myself every year. I think that I might have to graft onto my grafts from previous years to have enough room.
Thank you for any replies.
I appreciate any thoughts or advice that you can give.
Regards,
Tim
