Rootstocks for Florida Stone Fruit by Ali Sarkhosh, Mercy Olmstead, Jose Chaparro, Thomas Beckman

“…Accordingly, ‘Flordaguard’ rootstock is the only rootstock the University of Florida currently recommends for commercial peach production. ‘Sharpe’, a clonal plum hybrid rootstock (Beckman, et al., 2008), is only recommended for backyard fruit production because of its reduced yield and smaller fruit size when compared to trees budded onto ‘Flordaguard’ rootstock. …”
