Encore: Chill with Dr. Katherine Jarvis-Shean

In this encore, we return to an early episode where we discuss dormancy and chilling with Katherine Jarvis-Shean, Orchard Systems Advisor in Yolo, Solano, and Sacramento Counties (AKA Yolanomento). She explains what we know about dormancy, how we calculate chill accumulation, and why we seem to be seeing more winters with poor chill accumulation recently.
