^ As described by Hess et al. (1997)

These stakeholders came together and developed a scale that measures the phenological stages of each plant in a way that different plants can be measured by comparing approximately the same growth stages (Hess et al., 1997).  The scale is comprised of 10 principal or major growth stages, each with 10 secondary growth stages (Hess et al., 1997). This project will be formatted with each principal stage represented by the subsequent columns. Each column will then describe the secondary stages as given by Meier (2001)

The Red Currant scale used is listed under Currants, developed by Meier et al., in 1994. 

The scale for currants begins from principle stage 0 and ends with principle stage 9. It does not include a principal stage 2 or 4 and are therefore not depicted in this project.
