The expression of a character is a function of the genotype in interaction with the environment. Some traits are more influenced by environmental factors than others. The present paper discusses some characteristics of four peach cultivars (BRS Libra; Bonão; BRS Kampai and Rubimel) comparing results obtained in Southern Brazil and South of Spain. There were some differences among fruits produced on one side or the other being fruit shape the most noticeable one. Fruits produced in Southeast of Spain, generally, tend to have an oblate shape and did not have a pronounced apex (tip).
