Title: Let's Take Another Look at Hardiness
Author: W.G. Brierley

Abstract:
Our knowledge of plant behavior of,
ten is advanced materially when some
general problem is broken down into specific factors.
It seems likely that more
rapid progress may be made in the study
of winter hardiness, or more particularly
cold resistance of woody plants, if a careful analysis of the problem is made to
determine what specific factors are involved.
A perusal of the numerous contributions on the subject of hardiness in
woody fruit plants will reveal that the
majority deal only with survival.
Over
the years these records of survival have
been useful, but often they do not explain
the difference noted in plant behavior under different conditions.
Fortunately some
reports have dealt with the effects of specific factors but it is evident that this approach should be used more extensively.
