Abstract

Seasonal frosts frequently result in the loss of a significant percentage of the apple crop. Some Pennsylvania orchardists have observed on occasion that the bloom of compact fruit trees appeared more resistant to frost injury than blossoms of the same scion rootedon vigorous stocks. A study was conducted, therefore, to determine whether rootstock vigor could effect a differential response of the bloom and immature fruit to frost.
