In California, we typically calculate chilling hours from Nov. 1, through the end of February. Cumulative chilling hours are calculated by either summing the hours below 45 degrees or those between 32 degrees and 45 degrees. The hours can be recorded with your own weather station or by using one of several Web sites which calculate hours from weather stations nearest your vineyard.
Growers and industry traditionally keep track of chilling hours beginning in November to get a sense of the orchard management practices needed and comparison of past year's weather and crop load. The approximate number of hours/units/portions needed for normal development varies depending on variety and species. For more information contact local nurseries or farm advisors.
