Indeed there are concerns that climatic changes might interfere with the natural life cycle of the Abies family in the UK if climatic changes bring about warmer Winters simply because the required cold spell that is needed to break the dormancy of seed will not be provided by mother nature. shiraz.me.uk /site/trees/a/abies.htm   (655 words)
