To determine the best suitable cultivars for the region, extreme cold and mild years which occurred in succession considered as an opportunity for determining their chilling requirements. The cultivars that could not set fruit in both extrem cold and mild years were easily eliminated. Among the remaining cultivars with regards to their precocity and yield well as their fruit quality, the following cultivars were recommended for the Mediterranean coastal region.
