       IME it is the photoperiod rather than the temperature that controls 
       the dormancy - under lights it stays active above 10 hrs, and forms 
       a resting bud at less than this, even at 'indoor' temperatures.  So
       I should think that it is your latitude that will govern how long a 
       dormancy it will go for in natural light.  Skipping the dormancy 
       doesn't seem to do any harm.
       Hope this helps,
