To determine the timing of bud burst, approaches proposed by [51, 52] were used: these include the determination of the stage of dormancy to describe the chilling-requiring stage indispensable for the release from autumn-winter dormancy, and the stage of ontogenesis essential for the induction of bud burst after the autumn-winter dormancy period.
