Prunus aviumcvs Napoleon, Bada and Corum were grafted on limbs of the following rootstock clones; F 12/1, MxM 2, MxM 60, MxM 97, and OCR 2. After 7 years, ignoring the effect of rootstock, Bada trees were half as large as Napoleon and Corum trees were slightly larger than Napoleon.
Trees on MxM 2 rootstock were not different in size from trees on F 12/1. Trees grafted on MxM 60 were 60% as large, and on MxM 97, 34% as large. Trees on OCR 2 were precocious but were removed due to infection with prune dwarf virus. All MxM trunks suckered more than F 12/1. Root-stock had little or no effect on fruit size, soluble solids, removal force or yield, except MxM 97 which were weak and low-yielding.
