Temperature treatments influenced inception, intensity and termination of rest in peach trees [ Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]. A substance that affected the response was translocated within the trees. The time of leaf abscission in the fall was related to duration and intensity of rest in ‘Gleason Elberta’ peach leaf terminal buds. An August application of 100 ppm gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) and warm field temperatures delayed defoliation and extended rest.
