Summary: The overall goal of this project was to investigate the effect of early spring temperature on apples and sweet cherries at different developmental stages and to determine the hardiness. We used a traditional methodology through exposure to freezing temperatures, and automated part of this procedure. One of the general goals was also to develop a updated hardiness charts for apples and sweet cherries.
