In this research, phonological observations of 5 species (Prunus dulcis, Prunus avium, Prunus armeniaca, Pyrus communis, Prunus domestica) were studied in Iranian orchard of National Botanical Garden of Iran during the years 2004-2008. Ten trees were selected for each species and leaf, flower and fruit phenology were recorded from second decade of February to end decade of November. Occurrence time of phenomena was converted to its interval from first day of the year. Statistical analysis of occurrence time of phenomena showed that there are significant differences between the studied species. Soonest and latest occurrence time of phenomena and their sustainability were observed in P. duclis and P. avium, respectively. Based on study of correlation between climate factors (temperature and precipitation) and occurrence time of phenomena, significant correlations were found in some species. }, URL = {http://jcpp.iut.ac.ir/article-1-1946-en.html}, eprint = {http://jcpp.iut.ac.ir/article-1-1946-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Crop Production and Processing}, doi = {}, year = {2013} }
