Bantam Flyer.png

Krymsk® 86 

Peach/plum hybrid. Tree size similar to Lovell. Amazing root strength and outstanding anchorage.Tolerant to wet and heavy soils. Cold hardy and high PH tolerance. Precocious. Increases fruit size and yield with strong root system. Performs well on replant sites.

 

​

Bantam™ (USPP #35672P2)

A premium rootstock that is great for high-density plantings. Designed to reduce vigor, Bantam™ delivers excellent anchorage and adapts well to heavy soils. It resists root knot nematodes and tolerates water-saturated soils and salinity, all without root suckering. Bantam™ appears to be compatible with all plum, prune, and interspecific plum hybrids. Its upright growth habit and well-anchored root system allows for planting without trellis, with only minimal staking required early in the life of the orchard.

​

​Myro 29C

Roots tend to be intermediate depth, good vigor. Medium to heavy soil. Wide range of soil and moisture types. Less suckering than Marianna 26-24. Susceptible to Bacterial canker.

  

M40 Marianna (USPP# 11403)

It has been observed that Marianna M40 has good wet soil tolerance, with the potential for better anchorage and reduced sucker production. The M40 may eventually displace 26-24 and other plum rootstocks. â€‹

​

Viking
Viking is an inter-specific hybrid that is vigorous, productive, early blooming and somewhat tolerant of

wet soil conditions. ‘Viking’ tolerates saline soil conditions, and alkaline soil conditions, but is intolerant

of dehydration during transplanting. It is also resistant to Root knot nematode and less susceptible to bacterial canker.
