It's mostly about the fruit trees....but I haven't seen anything yet about our area along Lake Ontario....where there's a huge band of Fruit tree Farms.

Guess she never heard of hydroponics either. 24/7...365 days. Love having half way decent tomatoes in the winter. Lotsa hot houses in our area.

Horticulturists would know——the affect of daylight hours.

My winter grass won’t grow with less sunlight than dark.....generally around the spring solstice.

My bet is Mother nature has learned both heat and light are the go signs. I’ll be interested to see if these fruit trees were triggered to blossom with 1 day of spring temperatures.
