Title: Bud Distribution and Yield Potential in Peach
Author: S. Perez-Gonzalez

Abstract:
One year old shoots of 50 cultivars of peach
(Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) differing in genetic
and geographic origin were studied.
Bud density
and distribution showed marked differences
among genotypic groups.
Cultivars originating
in climates with less risk of low winter temperatures generally had lower bud densities based
on a high proportion of blind nodes or nodes
with only one bud.
Higher bud densities were
associated with a higher proportion of nodes
with 3 buds which generally results in higher
flower and fruit densities that would require
more labor for thinning.
