Implication

Field trial reveals rootstock variation affecting fruit quality and yield efficiency in Redhaven peach trees, suggesting evaluation for clonal options.

Key Points

Evaluate the performance of different rootstocks for 'Redhaven' peach over a nine-year period across various locations.
Field trial across 13 states with 16 locations
Assessment of survival, growth, flowering, fruit size, and yield
Evaluation of rootstocks for susceptibility to diseases, including bacterial canker.
Significant differences in survival and yield efficiency among rootstocks
Highest survival observed for peach seedling rootstocks; lowest for certain hybrids and species
Guardian® and Lovell had highest cumulative yields, while Fortuna showed low survival and fruit size.
