| My one year old sweet treat pluerry has a few flowers already. I am surprised because of the unusally warm weather in December and January. The chill hours I got in my backyard maybe less than 300 hours. Does this mean sweet treat pluerry is a real low chill variety, or the flowers are actually from the dormant buds a year ago when I just bough the tree? Can flower buds stay dormant through a whole year? |

| No they don't stay dormant an extra year. They'll abort sometimes even before normal bloom date if anything goes wrong. Those are this years blooms. Mine last year bloomed right after planting and set about 12 fruits. Unfortunately the fruit is very small and nothing special, at least last year for me. |
