Cuttage of Prunus persica × Prunus davidiana hybrids

hybrids between Prunus davidiana and Prunus persica

The cutting method for Prunus persica × Prunus davidiana hybrids is neither an effective nor a standardized propagation technique. Micropropagation is the industry-recognized standard for this group of plants.

In the reference 6 varieties crop hybrids between Prunus davidiana and Prunus persica, where this is mentioned in the description.

There is no evidence in scientific literature regarding the successful propagation of Prunus persica × Prunus davidiana hybrids using hardwood or softwood cuttings. This plant group is characterized by an extremely low rooting capacity, which makes traditional cuttage impractical for commercial production.

The primary method for reproducing these hybrids is in vitro micropropagation, which enables the production of virus-free planting material. The process has revealed a need to optimize culture media, specifically iron and macronutrient levels, to prevent shoot-tip necrosis during the rooting stage of microcuttings.
