Through the year
Emergence
Bud break and leaf emergence typically occur after the last spring frost and when air temperatures consistently rise above 50C.
Flowering
Flowering usually begins about a month after leaf emergence, typically in late spring to early summer.
Fruiting
Fruits develop over summer, ripening from late summer to early autumn.
Harvest
Berries are typically ready for harvest from late August through September, often after the first light frosts which can improve flavor.
Senescence
Leaves begin to change color and drop with the onset of shorter days and the first autumn frosts.
Dormancy
The tree enters full dormancy shortly after leaf fall, lasting through winter until chill requirements are met and spring temperatures rise.
Timing is relative to your local season (temperate Northern Hemisphere).
