“…During the 6 years in the orchard, the GF 655-2 rootstocks producing the smallest trees, but with a growth reduction of only 52% of Prunus cerasifera, and cannot therefore be categorized as truly dwarfing. This observation is also in agreement with German findings (Hartmann et al, 2007). In contrast to the findings of Ladner et al (2003), who reported no difference in growth vigor between GF 655-2, Jaspi, and Ishtara with both the plum cultivars Cacaka Schöne and Fellenberg, we found significant differences between the growth vigor of GF 655-2 and that of the two other rootstocks.…”

The plum cultivar "Kirke" was budded on 13 selected rootstocks including the standard rootstock St. Julien A and evaluated under field conditions during 2001-08. The average bud take was 43%, with the highest bud take on St. Julien A at 75%. No take was observed with Marianna GF 8.1 and only 15% take in combination with Myrobalan P 1254, all of which died during the first year in the nursery. The most vigorous rootstock was Myrocal® Fercino with an increase in the trunk diameter (TD) of 94.6 mm during the first 6 years in the orchard. GF 655-2 had the largest dwarfing effect with a TD of 48.8 mm. Although none of the tested rootstocks were found to be truly dwarfing, the best growth control was provided by Ishtara®, Ferciana and GF 655-2. Ishtara also produced the largest fruits, at 50.4 g, and a high yield. The most productive rootstock was Jaspi® Fereley with an accumulated yield at 25.6 kg per tree. Fruits on the rootstock Plumina® Ferlenain matured 4-5 days earlier than from any other rootstock combinations.

“…In Polish and German plum trials the rootstock GF 655-2 resulted in a good reduction of vigor and good fruit production, while Ishtara® Ferciana (Ishtara) and Jaspi® Fereley (Jaspi) induced good cropping capacity, yield efficiency, and good fruit size (Grzyb and Sitarek, 2007;Hartmann et al, 2007).…”

“…till the beginning of "bearing and drying" stage. Some experience (Hartmann et al 2007) shows that the length of the trial is an important factor and that 7 years of observations can be insufficient. According to the observation of changes during the ontogeny and depending on the cultivar it requires at least 12-15 years.…”

It is interesting to supplement this information with long-term results.Experience from international rootstock trials shows that the performance of a rootstock in combination with the cultivar may change in different agroclimatic conditions (Hartmann et al 2007).

Mészáros M., Kosina J., LaňarL., Náměstek J. (2015): Long-term evaluation of growth and yield of Stanley and Cacanska lepotica plum cultivars on selected rootstocks. Hort. Sci. (Prague), 42: 22-28.During 1992-2012, trunk cross-section area (TCSA), cumulative yield, yield efficiency and suckering of plum cultivars Stanley and Cacanska lepotica in combinations with vegetative rootstocks Myrobalan SE 4043, Myrobalan SE 4044, MY-KL-A, GF 655/2, GF 43, Damas C SE 4045, Pixy, St. Julien A and generative rootstock Myrobalan seedling were evaluated. The results indicated significant differencies of the characteristics between the evaluated cultivar/rootstock combinations for each cultivar. The long-term experience indicates that the evaluated characteristics of the trees on different rootstocks can significantly change during the ontogenetical developement in the orchard. This is demonstrated by the difference in the entering into the bearing stage, different abudance of the yields, the time of reaching of maximum yields and also in changes of growth intensity. For detailed description of the rootstock characteristics long-term trials are required. For cv. Stanley, Myrobalan SE 4043 is the best rootstock for long-term orchards and St. Julien A for orchards with a higher replanting rate. For cv. Cacanska lepotica, Myrobalan SE 4043 seems to be the best rootstock.Keywords: ontogenesis; stage; productivity; TCSA; bearing; suckering Plum is one of the traditional fruit crops grown in the Czech Republic. For good performance in the orchards, the rootstock has an important influence on the scion cultivar. The most frequently used rootstock in Czech Republic is still the myrobalan seedling. With the increased need for intensification of fruit production, several rootstock trials have already been established and evaluated in central Europe (Hrotkó et al. 1998;Kosina 1998Kosina , 2007Sosna 2002;Sitarek et al. 2007) in order to find more productive scion-rootstock combinations. Authors in these publications presented results of the influence of new rootstocks, described by Hrotkó et al. (1998), Jakob (1992, Hartmann (1995), andWebster (1997), on selected plum cultivars, nevertheless most of them are results from young orchards, which just enter the productive stage. It is interesting to supplement this information with long-term results.Experience from international rootstock trials shows that the performance of a rootstock in combination with the cultivar may change in different agroclimatic conditions (Hartmann et al. 2007). That is the main reason to test the same rootstocks in different regions of Europe and of the world. However, the question is, if the rootstock with the cultivar retains qualities in growth and bearing throughout the ontogeny

Field performance, leaf mineral content and fruit quality of two 'Greengage' plum cvs. 'R.C. Bavay' and 'R.C. GF 1119' budded on two plum based rootstocks (Ishtara and P.8-13) were studied in the network of an international European plum trial, promoted by the Fruit Research Station of the INRA of Bordeaux (France) and other European Research Centers. Trees were established in the winter of 1993-1994 in a heavy and calcareous soil with climate conditions typical of the Mediterranean area. Trees of 'R.C. GF 1119' were more vigorous than those from 'R.C. Bavay'. The highest yield was observed on the P.8-13 rootstock for both cultivars. In contrast, the highest cumulative yield and yield efficiency were induced by 'R.C. Bavay', independently of the rootstock. All trees budded on Ishtara survived well, whereas tree mortality was reported in trees budded on P.8-13 for each cultivar. Leaf chlorophyll content varied depending of the rootstock-scion combination. Most of the mineral nutrient concentrations were not affected by the rootstock-scion combination, with the exception of Mn, which was significantly lower on Ishtara for both cultivars. Overall, Ishtara resulted the best adapted rootstock to soil waterlogging and calcareous soil conditions showing a good tree survival and best leaf Fe mineral content. Further studies with plum varieties budded onto P.8-13 rootstock should be carried out to in order to recommend their use on soils with no waterlogging and/or associated diseases. Comparing the two cultivars, 'R.C. Bavay' showed better agronomic performance than 'R.C. GF 1119', in terms of cumulative yield and yield efficiency, and similar good fruit quality.
