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.
