Abstract
A quick visual method for evaluating blind node propensity is proposed . The method is based on the proportion of blind nodes on one-year-old shoots. The scores ranged from 1 as less than one third of the branch having blind nodes, to 9 as greater than two thirds of the branch hav ing blind nodes. The correlation coefficient (r) of actual percentage of blind nodes was 0.84 indicating that this method will be useful to evaluate peach germplasm for blind node propensity.
