PEACH TREE AND NECTRINES
ADESOTO® Puebla de Soto
(selezione di P. Insititia)
Selection of Pollizo of Murcia (Spain) produced by the Estación Experimental de Aula Dei of Zaragoza. It gives vigour, uniform plants, good productivity, increased fruit size and earlier ripening. It is able to produce suckers. It is polyvalent and related to the peach tree, the nectarine, the apricot tree and the plum tree. It adapts well to dry, clayey and calcareous soils. It tolerates Armillaria (honey fungus) and produces a large amount of suckers.
GF677
(Ibrido di P. persica x P. amigdalus)
It has been selected by INRA, the French Institute of Agronomic Research. For over 30 years it has been the main clonal rootstock for peach trees and nectarines thanks to its ability to adapt to the most difficult soil conditions, especially to calcareous and dry soils. It is also suitable for replanting and it has perfect grafting compatibility with peaches, nectarines and the percoca variety. It is unable to produce suckers and it is sensitive to Agrobacterium, Stereum, Nematodi and Armillaria (honey fungus). It is excellent for late cultivars, especially on calcareous, dry, poor, and tired soils.
SUSINO
MIRABOLANO DA SEME
(P. Cerasifera)
It is a widely used rootstock, thanks to its ability to propagate easily in nurseries and to its good suitability even to marginal and difficult soils, which are typical of hill areas; it tolerates all main root diseases. However, it is necessary to have selected plants which are as uniform as possible in order to avoid plant loss due to non-similarity. It gives high vigour to cultivars, but fruit production is slow and the fruit size is medium.
MIRABOLANO 29 C
(Selezione di Prunus Cerasifera)
Prunus cerasifera produced in the USA. It is suitable to well-drained hill or plain soils. It is medium sensitive to Agrobacterium and Verticillium. It is a good rootstock with a high production efficiency and quite good similarity. The tree is medium vigorous, it produces few suckers and has good productivity. It does not tolerate anoxic and dry soils.
CHERRY TREE
COLT
(P. Avium x P. Pseudocerasus)
It adapts to a variety of soil types, including heavy and wet ones, though favouring fresh ones. It is among those which best tolerate soil fatigue. It has excellent grafting compatibility. Very high vigour. The rootstock is suitable for low-medium planting density in specialized and irrigated cherry orchards. Specially recommended for tired soils, it adapts to various pedoclimatic conditions, including replanting. It has early ripening and a good size.
