My roommate and I were wondering about that one too. I used to live in Wenatchee, WA, which considers itself the apple capital of the world. Looking around the city at all of the orchards I can see why.

So anyway, they talked about the total temperature over time to allow the trees to blossom, so I thought that it might be because some trees had their start in a green house, where the temperature was a bit hotter, so they have a prediliction to bloom a bit earlier than others.

Don't know...

Isn't the tree blooming thing a function of the amount of light more than temperature? Had a lot of cloudy weather?

Well, in Wenatchistan, the sunlight was kind of taken for granted. After mid-March, the skies were clear. They talked about temperature more than sunlight, though.

Uryoces,

Did you live in Wenatchee? Lin and I are going to be there in a week (Friday May 9). It's her hometown!

Coming through Seattle.

Maybe we can get a beer...

Take him up on it if you can, Ury...he's cool as hell.
