Buds on trees pruned in midsummer or some- what later, even though no new growth follows in the same summer, may have their chilling requirements increased so that they open later in spring after a warm winter than buds on trees pruned in the preceding spring or winter. ( Deficiencies, such as nitrogen or water, that cause early leaf fall sometimes, al- though not always, cause the buds to open slightly earlier after a warm winter.
