Abstract: Gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) was applied at 75 ppm to mature ‘Redskin‘ peach trees at various times during the summer and fall. Flowering was reduced by GA 3 , the degree of reduction depending on time of application. Two response peaks were evident: the first occurred with application in early summer, at the time of flower initiation; the second occurred in late summer and resulted from mortality of developing flower buds. Application of GA 3 shortly before leaf fall caused the most retardation of flower development the following spring. The nature and degree of flowering response was, therefore, related to time of GA 3 application.
