Most of my Stone fruit trees are grafted on different rootstocks. soil is clay with a high lime content pH 7.2
so many varieties are prone to iron and manganese deficiency,in terms of rootstocks, I’m still in an experimental phase. (rootstock Flavor King seedling)
GF 667 good limestone terrain resistant
Greengage (cuttings)
Brompton
St Julien
Adesoto
Weiroot 720 (Cherry)
Maxma 14 (Cherry)
Cherry Rootstock: Inmil / GM9 is moderately sensitive to a high lime content very suitable for my purpose, patent has been expired.
Comparison with vigour Gisela 5 Inmil is half less, high yield and good harvest propagation by softwood cuttings.
For me it’s a keeper for 25 years.
I’ve heard about Rootpac-20, It seems to me a good acquisition, too bad in this part of Europe not available.
