For fruiting plants that require "chill hours", the critical time is between Nov. 1 and Jan. 1: the number of hours below 45 minus the number of hours above 65.

It sure sounds like it! That is very interesting. Thanks for the info. There are times where we can a whole week without hitting 32 for a high. There is a huge difference between the 5 zones that seperate us.
