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,
