Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship of the structure of fruit buds of the peach to hardiness, and, to add to the general knowledge regarding death of plant tissue resulting from exposure to low temperatures. Peach buds were selected for this experiment on account of their large size, their abundance, and their relatively high lower-thermal-death-point.
