Comparison of the growth of selected seedlings of rootstocks for peach and plum

Abstract.

The experiment was conducted in the years 2006-2008. In a nursery production the growth of seedlings of four rootstocks for peach trees: ‘Minnesota’, ‘Hui-Hun-Tao’, ‘Syberian C’, ‘Rakoniewicka’ and the growth of three seedlings for plum trees: Prunus tomentosa, ‘Wagenheim Prune’ and Prunus cerasifera was compared. A strong vigour of growth was observed for the rootstocks: ‘Rakoniewicka’, ‘Hui-Hun-Tao’ and Prunus cerasifera. The vigour of growth obtained for the rest of the considered rootstocks was not so high. All seedlings were well-rooted with the exception of ‘Syberian C’ and Prunus cerasifera. The seedlings of ‘Syberian C’ had a worse compatibility with the norm in comparison with the rest of the rootstocks taken into account.
