night temperature ( Nobel and Bobich, 2002 ; Nobel and Hartsock, 1984 ). In contrast, the epiphytic cacti night blooming cereus ( Hylocereus undatus ) had an optimal night temperature for CO 2 uptake of 25 °C ( Raveh et al., 1995 ). Whether plants
overcome this threat by delaying harvest. Their procedure, based on the capacity of cherimoya trees to develop flowers in new growth after shoot tipping and defoliation, resulted in new flowers formed 2 months later than typical blooming dates. Hand
selected these dates because all plants began blooming within the first week of treatment, irrespective of flurprimidol rates. Statistical analysis. Data for plant height were subjected to analysis of variance using general linear model [PROC GLM (SAS
. Observations: Blooming occurs from mid-July through September. The fruit will swell in mid-September and persist through winter to February. The leaves are stiff, mostly erect with some spreading apically, but not becoming arched back and pointed downward
late April to late July ( Figs. 1 – 4 ). The earliest plant to bloom was Halimium calycinum , particularly the accession from California, which commenced blooming in the third week of April ( Fig. 4 ), at about the same time as Halimium umbellatum
Hydrangeas ( Hydrangea sp.) are popular ornamental plants due to their enormous, round flower heads blooming in white, pink, red, purple, or blue in spring and summer. It was listed as the third most used plant in a 2011 survey of 4000 landscape
early-season varieties are generally more susceptible to early frost events due to their blooming schedule, they are equally concerned with preserving yields of the more profitable mid- and late-season varieties during a freeze event. Thus, our
main exception being the Rocky Mountain states ( USDA, 2006b ). The range of this upland species extends southward into central Florida ( Wunderlin and Hansen, 2004a ). In Florida, lanceleaf tickseed is a low-growing, spring-blooming, short
blooming as trees built up carbohydrate reserves ( Scholefield et al., 1985 ). Biennial production is not always characterized by an every-other-year cycle. An “on-year” can be followed by one or more “off-years” and vice versa ( Paz-Vega, 1997 ). The
. However, K rates had a distinct effect on foliar K concentrations, which ranged between 1.2% to slightly less than 3% K as rates increased from 0 to 500 lb/acre ( Fig. 1C ). Foliar concentration of K increased at or above 2.5% during tomato blooming when
