Where does this fit in with your current understanding of prune bloom conditions?

Well, it, um, it just fits.

It was very warm.

The weirdest, warmest bloom I can remember with still a crop set.

But in our experience over the years, and we've been doing this for about 20 years now, when the heat hits, when the over 80-degree temperatures hit from full bloom to a couple of days later, right after bloom, that is where we get the most damage.

And this year, we flirted with 80 through much of the bloom, but it wasn't quite too hot this particular year.

I see some shoots that I've been tracking that bloomed a little bit later, March 12th or so.

Franz, let's turn now to what happened just after full bloom, and take us through this concept of GDH30, the growing degree hours, the 30 days after full bloom, and then what those numbers were like this year in your region and what the implications for that are.
