In recent years, Rancho Fortuna, McFarland, California, has tested and selected two peach rootstocks which have outstanding value for nematode resistance. The first of these, Rancho Redleaf, was discovered as a sucker on an S-37 tree in an orchard at Bakersfield, California. Mr. T. A. Sand, President of Del Rancho Fortuna, in conjunction with Mr. Grant Merrill, a private plant breeder of Red Bluff, California, tested this variety under both nursery and field conditions. It was patented by Mr. Merrill December 20, 1955.
