Will these malipoense buds open in 2024? They are getting close...

 

[Hilmar]

malipoense in nature has very cold and dry conditions during autumn and winter, the buds keep like time stopped, so when spring comes and temperature rise they develope and open. That ist the main problem to grow and flower malipoense in western Europe, we very often noticed browning and dying buds in winter here
