Been reading fascinating research articles on bud dormancy of woody perennial fruit trees (e.g. grapes, peaches...).

#Did_you_know that, temperate woody perennial trees have buds that help them overcome freeze injury (low temperatures) through bud dormancy.

Lack of sufficient chilling requirements is common problem in tropical/sub-tropical regions.
