Abstract: Development of pubescence was studied in peach [ Prunus persica (L.) Batsch. cv. June Gold]. Mean trichome length and density were determined on ovaries collected in anthesis to ripe fruit stages. Mean trichome length increased during an thesis until petal fall, then decreased by a factor of 10 to fruit ripening. Pubescence density did not consistently increase or decrease between anthesis and shuckoff, but did show a major decrease on ripe fruit. The dense appearance of pubescence at petal fall may be due largely to increased trichome length.
