Abstract: The preliminary study on the effect of temperature on floral ecological characteristics might be practical significance of M.halliana planting and cultivation.This study investigated the effects of different temperatures on the ecological characteristics of flowering crabapple flowers,mainly from flower size,flower density,water content and flower longevity.The results showed that:the floral density of M.halliana in high temperature site was significantly lower than that in low temperature site;there was no significantly effect of temperature on floral size;the floral longevity of M.halliana in high temperature site was significantly lower than that in low temperature site;the floral water content of M.halliana in high temperature site was significantly lower than that in low temperature site;the effect of pistil removal was significant on floral longevity.

Key words: Malus halliana, Temperature, Floral density, Pollination, Floral longevity
