requirements ranged from 266 to 996 CU among almond cultivars ( Egea et al., 2003 ) and ranged from 800 to 1200 CU among apricot cultivars ( Ruiz et al., 2007 ). Negative effects that are caused by insufficient or exceeded chill accumulation could result in

Most temperate fruit tree breeding programs pay major attention to fruit quality, chilling requirement, crop load, and tolerance to disease. In contrast, limited effort has been devoted to tree architecture and tree branching patterns ( Berthelemy

The production of temperate zone fruit crops in subtropical environments has increased significantly in the last 30 years. Low-chill cultivars of apple, blueberries, plum, and peach have been developed by several breeding programs and are in
