Evaluation of Nursery Traits in Japanese Plums on Five Different Rootstocks

Climate change has a negative effect on the environment in which traditional fruit species are grown and, at same time, offers potential for cultivation of new species. Japanese plums derived from P. salicina Lindley that is slowly being introduced to Czech Republic. Therefore, there efforts find ways grow these varieties. In our experiment, selected nursery traits important production plum saplings region Republic were evaluated. The main evaluation criteria scion affinity, sapling yield, and growth characteristics. results show best affinity was achieved with Adesoto (92.0%) Torinel (90.0%) rootstocks. Moderate levels found Brompton (84.2%) St. Julien A (80.0%) Weak only rootstock Wavit (52.7%). economically significant trait yield saplings; here, highest yields obtained (88.4%) variety ‘Black Star’ (89.3%). Generally, rootstocks proved be most suitable use
