Influence of 1985 low midwinter temperatures (-21°C) in Georgia on 172 peach and nectarine cultivars was determined by measuring flower bud survival on excised dormant shoots, and by rating bloom quantity and crop load. Flower bud survival ranged from 35% for ‘Redhaven’ peach to 0% for ‘Junegold’ peach. Data suggests that at least 10% flower bud survival is required for a full commercial crop.
