Q: How long & at what temperature do the trees need to remain dormant for?
A: each variety has a different amount of time needed to rest, plums & apricots need the least with an average of only 250 - 400 hours needed below 45 degrees. Apples & Pears need an average of 750 - 1200 hours below 45 degrees.

Q: Does the cold weather and snow hurt the trees?
A: No, not in a typical winter, but in extreme conditions buds will be damaged. Apples will start to sustain damage after -15 degrees, while peaches will start to be damaged at -5 degrees. Once temps hit -20 both apples & peach trees could die all together.

Q: Does the snow hurt the strawberry plants?
A: No, snow is the best protector from cold injury to the plant, even better than the straw mulch applied before winter.

Q: Is winter a good time to prune my fruit trees?
A: Yes, pruning when trees are dormant is the best time to do so, but if the weather is predicted to have a warm spell such as temps reaching up into the 60s for a couple of days then suddenly dropping back into the teens that will cause damage to the area around the cut.
