Abstract:
Seventy-one peach cultivars, twelve nectarine
cultivars and one apricot cultivar growing in the
W. Va.
Univ.
Experiment Farm cultivar test
plantings were evaluated for vegetative and
flower bud injury, blossoming, and crop production following a low temperature of -28°C
occurring the morning of 22 January 1984.
Cultivar ratings for vegetative bud injury ranged
from the complete tree kill to a few terminals
with dieback as a result of cold temperature.
Cultivar bloom ratings ranged from zero to full
crop potential.
Crop ratings ranged from no
crop to those approaching a need for thinning.
