Apple Bud

Malus Mill.

The apple bud is an object of morphological description, phenological monitoring, and assessment of the resistance of generative organs to spring frosts.

In the reference 50 varieties crop Apple, where this is mentioned in the description.

In apple breeding and cultivar evaluation, the bud serves as an important trait for cultivar identification through its coloration, which varies from white-pink to purple. The phenological stage of bud burst serves as a critical calendar point for planning orchard protection measures, including fungicide applications.

When assessing the adaptive potential of an apple tree, buds are used as a key indicator of winter hardiness. Their degree of resistance to spring frosts is determined by artificial freezing followed by a quantitative count of the percentage of dead buds, which directly affects the predicted yield of the cultivar.
