“…Concerning fruit set, the literature is contradictory. Abbot (1962) found in apples, that treatments, including warm temperatures during the pre-blossom months, produced differences in fruit drop following blossoming, but did not affect final fruit set percentages. Folley (1977) andJackson et al (1983) however.…”

A ten year study on the influence of pre-blossom temperatures on the percentage of double kerneled almond fruits, under warm climatic conditions, showed a negative correlation between the percentage of fruits with double kernels and mean temperatures during the pre-blossom months. When mean temperatures for single pre-blossom months were correlated with double-kernel production, mean temperatures in December showed a much larger correlation (r = -0.78) than those of November (r = -0.51) or January (r = -0.31).Artificially induced 3-4°C daytime increases in pre-blossom temperature on the variety 'Malaguena' which commonly produces double kernels, caused a marked fall in the percentage of double kerneled fruits, although it did not affect the percentage fruit set.

“…Likewise, in pear and apple, low temperatures appeared to promote fruit set on potted trees exposed to different temperature regimes from February to harvest (Tromp and Borsboom, 1994). However, other experiments in apple have shown no significant differences in fruit set (Abbott, 1962;Miller et al, 1987) or even that low pre-blossom temperature reduces final fruit set (Tromp, 1986). In Prunus species, information is also scarce and contradictory.…”

“…In apricot, warmer temperatures (6-7.6°C above average ambient temperatures) resulted in an earlier bloom and rapid flowering over a shortened period of time, but were detrimental to final fruit yields (Rodrigo & Herrero, 2002) . In apple, bloom length was shortened and bloom density was low under warm weather conditions (Abbott, 1962).…”
