ABSTRACT:
The flowering of broad-leaved trees, particularly fruit trees, is promoted by applying as a foliar treatment, a selected rapidly metabolisable gibberellin chosen from among gibberllin A.sub.4, C-3 epi-gibberellin A.sub.4, gibberellin A.sub.1, and salts and esters thereof. Use of the method of invention can promote return flowering and prevent biennial bearing.
