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.
