Summary:To breed new self-fruitful cultivar, self-fruit set rate were investigated among 59 fruiting and 23 flowering Japanese apricot (Prunus mume Seib. et Zucc.) cultivars. As yearly fluctuation of fruit set rate was large, the determination of self-fuitfulness was investigated for several years. In some cultivars, fruit set rate of artificial self-pollination was higher than that of natural self-pollination in the bag. Cultivars having more than 10% of fruit set rate were determined as a self-fruitful. Consequently, 20 fruiting cultivars were judged as self-fruitful. The other 39 fruiting and 23 flowering cultivars were self -unfruitful.
