Research Abstract	In this research the effects of high voltage applications on growth of peach was investigated experimentally. The length of peach branch was 70 mm, the peak value of applied voltage was range from 5 to 30 kV, and pulse width was 500 ns constant. At this condition deposited energy to branch was range from 5 to 10 mJ. Specimens of branch were cultivated on water vessel from July to January of next year. During the cultivation germination ratio was observed. From this experiments germination ratio with high voltage application was decreased rather than without application.
