A rootsctock trial of european plum (Prunus domestica L.) cv. Martin has been performed over a range of Prunus spp. rootstocks.
Graft combinations were: Martin/Brompton (P. domestica), Martin/San Julian A (P. insititia L.), Martin/Quetsche d'Alsace (P. domestica L.)/Myrobalan B (P. cerasifera Ehrh.). To avoid graft incompatibility between cv. Martin and Myrobalan B, Quetsche d'Alsace was used as an interstock.
Bloom date, flowering density, harvest time, growth, yield and productivity characteristics were recorded over 9 years.
While there are not productivity differences in this cultivar when grafted on Brompton or San Julian A, a decrease in productivity has been recorded when grafted on Myrobalan B with Quetsche d'Alsace as an interstock.
