Almonds

This almond rootstock is a Peach-Almond hybrid cross. Characteristics of this rootstock are large, extremely vigorous, hardy, self-sterile, productive, and regular bearing trees. This rootstock is commercially useful for almost all prunus species. The rootstock was developed as a first generation using Titan as the selected seed parent and Nemagard as the selected pollen parent. 

This almond rootstock is used for Almonds, Peaches, Apricots, and Nectarines. It has excellent anchorage. It’s advantages are that it is more tolerant of salinity, alkalinity, ph, and boron soils, as compared to all other rootstocks. It is moderately resistant to Root-Knot nematodes. It does require deep and well-drained soils. It can be planted year round. 

This almond rootstock is compatible with Almonds, Peaches, Plums, and Apricots. It has excellent growth, uniformity, and excellent anchorage for young almond trees. It is a low suckering rootstock, and has high vigor. This is a newer almond rootstock, and trials are ongoing. 

Nemaguard rootstock can be used for Almonds & Stone Fruit trees. This peach seedling rootstock is root knot nematode resistant, and is very vigorous. It is susceptible to root lesion nematode, bacterial canker & oak root fungus. Nemaguard rootstock prefers sandy soils.
