Notes |
New Zealand research has shown fruit size, firmness of flesh and sugar content are better from Apricot trees budded on Peach Seedling than those on Myrobalan, Marianna or buck plum. All our peach seedling rootstocks are innoculated for Crown Gall resistance using a radiobacter innoculant. Whilst Peach Seedlings have some issues as a rootstock, they are the best option currently in New Zealand. We are watching Penta® and Tetra® test selections with interest. |
