The effect of climate on the form of many fruits is frequently not understood or appreciated by horticulturists or growers. Normally a small range in size and shape is observed among fruits from adjacent trees or even from a single tree of a given variety or clone. This natural variation may result from such factors as amount of crop, degree of pollination or nutritional condition of the plant. The direct effect upon fruit form and size of the many factors which collectively are called climate is manifest only when comparisons can be made of fruits of given varieties grown under two or more climatic conditions. This effect is pronounced in some fruit varieties and types and not in others.
