Yes we have it tough here in Fresno, very extended growing season. I have often concidered renting Cold storage to get color on my decidous trees. We will ocationally get weather that gives us good color but not every year. The leaves are so old on the decidious trees that it seems that they just turn yellow and wear off of the trees. This is one reason that I will do so much defoliatinng on maples and tridents at the end of summer, If we do get a cold spell the new leaves will give better color. If we don't get the cold spell then I get a second growing season.
Yes we have it tough here in fresno!!!
