The topic on culture systems is quite controversial in the literature and practice of fruit growing. For those, it is necessary based on studies to establish a direct connection between the methods, technologies and biological material used for the purpose of expressing an optimum biological production potential. The fruit tree is determined by the methods and technological tools that realize to integrate relationships between the genetic characteristics of the variety of technological and economic factors governing productivity. Other factors contributing to the biological production potential of the variety are linked to the precocity of fruiting, fruiting type, cutting mode and management of trees, resistance to diseases and pests, planting density and vigor rootstocks. We present here a bibliographical review of some of the elements which constitute the ground of their conception such as potential of biological production, optical system, light utilization, plant density, biological material, cutting trees, canopy form.
