“…The lower r 2 obtained by Topp and Sherman (1989) may have resulted from the subjective rating scale used to evaluate blossom ends. Protruding tip development has also been attributed to inadequate chilling or prolonged dormancy (Byrne and Bacon, 1992;Campbell et al, 1995;Koffmann and Patten, 1992;Sherman, 1989, 2002). Protruding tips and sutures can be bruised during harvest and shipping of fruit and are therefore undesirable traits for commercial peaches.…”

Fruit shape of four low-chill peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] cultivars was evaluated in north-central, central, and southwest Florida. During 2005, measurements were taken at all locations for cheek diameter, suture diameter, and tip protrusion. A suture deformation index was calculated (suture diameter/cheek diameter) to determine suture deformation. Fruit had more protruding tips and suture deformation was more pronounced at the southwest location than at the north-central or central locations. Overall, ‘TropicBeauty’ had more protruding tips than the other cultivars. It was concluded that warmer temperatures at the southwest location during fruit development affected fruit shape by increasing the incidence of protruding tips and pronounced sutures.
