Technical Abstract:
New clonal Prunus hybrid rootstocks offer improved adaptation to site related problems including droughty or calcareous soils, root-knot nematodes and winter cold. Additionally, they offer varying degrees of vigor control compared to standard seedling types which provide significant reductions in pruning and the use of ladders.
