Apple and other deciduous fruit trees have a rest period which is normally broken by cold temperatures (below 46°F) during the winter in the northern part of the United States. In Mississippi, as we approach the Gulf coast, winters are sometimes too mild to adequately break the rest period of some deciduous fruit trees. Four recent winters were warmer than usual, and prolonged dormancy resulted. These winters were 1948–49, 1949–50, 1951–52 and 1956–57.
