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.
