DESCRIPTION:Part of the ASCFG Research and the Flower Farmer Webinar Series!  \nDr. Stephanie Burnett\, University of Maine\nDr. Bryan Peterson\, University of Maine \nEvent Details \nJoin Drs. Burnett and Peterson as they discuss their project\, which evaluated a wide range of commercially popular\, field-grown dahlias to compare the postharvest life of a cold-sensitive crop in Northern climates that have a limited growing season.
