Abstract

In the course of studies on spring freeze injury to tart cherries in Michigan, many flower buds on trees in frost pockets were found to have been killed prior to bud swell. Thermometers were therefore placed in several orchards in south and west-central Michigan to monitor minimum temperatures during the winter of 1971-72. Additional thermometers were located in selected sweet cherry, apricot, and peach orchards. Peach flower bud samples were taken as part of a plant breeding research project.
