Abstract

This investigation was carried out during two successive seasons of 2021/2022 and 2022/2023 on peach (Prunuspersica) trees ‘Florida Prince'cv. Grafted on Nemagard rootstock to study the effect of different winter pruning times on vegetative, flowering, yield, growth measurements and leaves elements chemical analysis. Trees were grown under sandy soil conditions at distances (4×5m) in apart under drip irrigation in private orchard in Monufia Governorate, Egypt.  five treatments were applied five times during winter pruning, on the mid- October (T1), was the first of November (T2), mid-November as a control trees (T3) first of December(T4), and mid- December(T5). Results indicated that pruning on first December followed by mid- December and pruning in October reduced the shoot length, width and height of the crown, also mid- October and first November pruning decreased the number of flowers. It could be recommend to prune Florda Prince peach trees in the first week of December (late pruning) to improve growth and yield which was superior over other dates and increase yield for local consumption and fruits exporting.
