A warm winter with insufficient chill hours can result in late or uneven bloom and creates the potential for lower crop yields.  We've had a good January, mild-to-cold [temperatures](https://app.bountiful.ag/agriculture/weather), and are in a good position as it relates to [chill hours](https://app.bountiful.ag/agriculture/weather). All this to say, we can expect an earlier [bloom](https://bountifulalmonds.com/).   ### 🌸 Bountiful Bloom  The countdown to 2023 almond bloom is upon us!
