Summary Comments
A standard rootstock for more northern peach growing areas because of good cold tolerance. However, it is susceptible to root-knot nematode and offers no advantages over Nemaguard.

Nematode Explanations
Has root-knot nematode resistance, but slightly less than Nemaguard. Has greater resistance to ring nematode than Nemaguard and is thus less susceptible to bacterial canker.

Summary Comments
Similar to Nemaguard in many ways but is substantially less susceptible to bacterial canker and Peach Tree Short Life, and is thus widely planted in southeastern USA.

Summary Comments
Main rootstock used in California because it is resistant to root-knot nematode and is compatible with peach, nectarine and plum. It makes a vigorous, productive tree with good fruit size. However, it does not tolerate waterlogged or calcareous soils and is susceptible to many soil pests including ring nematode, bacterial canker and armillaria.
