| Abstract:
Three-year-old potted cv.Tonewase trees were grown in a growth chamber kept at 15 - 25°C from 3 February to 9 May. Sprouting and flowering were hastened with increase in temperature. The cumulative temperature above 10°C required for flowering was about 444°C. The cumulative temperature above 10°C from sprouting to flowering became less with increase in temperature. Shoot growth was more vigorous at higher temperatures and growth of female flowers was greater with decrease in temperature. | |
