Budburst in detached birch shoots (Betula pendula) of different varieties winter-stored in darkness at three different temperatures.

Budburst timing and the relationship to storage temperature and duration were investigated in four varieties (entries) of 1â2 metres tall silver birch ( Roth) trees. A total of 2,160 shoots were sampled, and the material stores in darkness at 0, 3 or 6 °C from November 29, 1993. When the shoots wer...

description Budburst timing and the relationship to storage temperature and duration were investigated in four varieties (entries) of 1â2 metres tall silver birch ( Roth) trees. A total of 2,160 shoots were sampled, and the material stores in darkness at 0, 3 or 6 °C from November 29, 1993. When the shoots were placed in storage, they had been through a period of 29 days with temperatures below 0°C (since October 15). By that time the autumn dormancy was assumed already broken, and the trees were expected to respond to increased temperature by bud development. On January 4, 1994, and on four subsequent dates, January 19, February 1, March 4 and March 17, shoots were taken out of storage and set in growth chambers at 9, 12 or 15°C. The time to budburst was recorded.Betula pendula
