Vigor of Prunus amygdalus x Prunus persica

Prunus amygdalus x Prunus persica

The vigor of almond-peach hybrids determines the rootstock's ability to stimulate the vegetative development of grafted scions, characterized primarily as high growth energy.

In the reference 12 varieties crop Prunus amygdalus x Prunus persica, where this is mentioned in the description.

Prunus amygdalus x Prunus persica hybrids are classified as vigorous rootstocks capable of increasing scion growth energy by 10–15% compared to other types of rootstocks. High vigor ensures the rapid formation of a robust tree and facilitates adaptation to challenging soil conditions, such as high lime content and drought.

When evaluating the trait, biometric parameters are used: tree height, trunk diameter above the graft union, as well as canopy volume and shoot formation intensity. Commercial clonal rootstocks of this group, such as GF 677 or Garnem, demonstrate high vigor values, while forms with lower vigor, such as Adarcias, are rare exceptions and the result of highly specialized breeding.
