The evaluation of dormancy break based on the number of flower buds in bloom was performed in years 2011-2013 (January-April) for 15 peach cultivars compared to the control cv. Redhaven. Based on the date of endogenous dormancy break the evaluated peach cultivars could be classified into three groups consisting of: (1) cultivars with an early break of dormancy, (2) cultivars with a medium-early break of dormancy and (3) cultivars with a late break of dormancy. For individual cultivars, the duration of the dormancy period was influenced by meteorological conditions existing in a given year.

Keywords: Prunus persica (L.) Batsch; endogenous dormancy; length of dormancy; flower buds
