Which of the following is late-budding (needs higher temps)?

Budburst timing is driven by the accumulation of warmth after dormancy. A late-budding variety waits for a longer warm spell and needs higher temperatures (more heat units) to break dormancy and begin growth. That’s why this option fits best: it explicitly links late budburst with a requirement for higher temperatures. Early budburst would happen with less heat, mid-season sits in between, and very late budburst would come even later, needing even more warmth.
