Cultivation
Prunus L.
Selecting a rootstock for plums determines tree vigor, bearing age, and soil adaptation, requiring consideration of specific scion-rootstock compatibility and the tendency for root sucker production.
In the reference 156 varieties crop Plum, where this is mentioned in the description.
Seedling rootstocks, such as those from Myrobalan plum or local cultivars, are used for plums to produce long-lived trees with strong anchorage. Clonal rootstocks are employed for establishing high-density orchards, as they reduce tree habit, accelerate the onset of fruiting, and allow for control over planting density.
A critical aspect is the selection of a compatible scion-rootstock combination to prevent graft incompatibility. Rootstocks are also specialized for adaptation to environmental conditions: there are forms resistant to waterlogging or drought. Plum rootstock breeding actively utilizes interspecific hybrids of Myrobalan plum, Nanking cherry, and sand cherry to achieve winter hardiness and compactness.
