Abstract

In Hungary, until the 2010s, the use of plum as a rootstock was rather monotonous, 'Myrobalan' being the most common. This is not the case in Europe and other parts of the world, where the use of the rootstock is much more colorful. All over the world, the aim is to increase the intensity and to select out the weak-medium rootstocks. In addition to 'Myrobalan' Prunus cerasifera, P. insititia, P. domestica plums and other species and hybrids are used as rootstocks. The choice of seedlings is based primarily on soil conditions, but eco- and patho-resistance are also important considerations. The use of rootstock varies from one growing area to another and from one plum-growing country to another. In my paper I will describe the rootstock use in these plum growing countries and in countries of importance in plum research.
