Peach fruit is much demanded worldwide. The
success of its cultivation depends on the optimal
plant placement of all the huge biodiversity
considering the cultivar demands. The northern
boundary of the peach cultivation passes through the
Kiev-Kharkov-Rostov-on-Don, Maikop, Nalchik,
Grozny, Astrakhan (Witkowski, 2003). However,
because of extreme temperatures there are almost no
suitable areas for Peach crop cultivation in these
borderlands, in the Krasnodar and the Stavropol
regions. From the other hand, extreme temperatures
for peach cultivation in the humid Russian subtropics
were not observed. Spring frosts till -5 ° C were
observed in 2004, 2014. However, the cultivar
productivity in the region influenced by the duration
of low temperatures (7,2 ° C and below) that were
observed from December to March. The amount of
low temperatures for each cultivar was established
using the highest coefficient of yield determination,
depending on the temperature, amount of
precipitation and the "cooling unit." The yield of
peach cultivars is closely linked with the abovementioned
agro-climatic conditions during the
flowering period. Paired correlation coefficients of
yield with precipitation and with temperatures (for
most cultivars) were negative, and since they are
unregulated value, the flowering phase is crucial for
peach culture in the Russian subtropics
