Delayed Foliation, Dormosis.—In certain seasons, growth fails to start at the proper time in spring and the trees remain bare and appar- ently dormant until well into the summer. The leaves and new shoots may eventually develop in a weak, straggling manner, or the top may die back. Walnuts, apples, and other fruit trees are similarly affected. This condition occurs in the warmer sections of the state, in seasons following warm, frostless winters when there has not been enough cold weather to break the rest period of trees and stimulate new growth.
