Old nurserymen recommended using some ice on the soil around the crown of a tree to simulate cold dormancy or chill hours, where required. I’m in 10b and got a hold of an eastern lilac. They can’t do well here, not cold enough. I emptied the stinky old ice maker one season a few times a foot or more off the crown and got a a partial bloom one year. Pretty nice! Trickster.....
Question: Do you think putting a limited amount of ice around a JM for a week or two in the winter would benefit the trees health and the following seasons bud push here in Southern California?
