| Abstract:
'Pollizo de Murcia' is a slow growing plum, Prunus domestica or P. insititia, of widespread use as rootstock for most stone fruits, in the region of Murcia (Spain). This stock has recently expanded to other fruit growing areas. 'Pollizo de Murcia' is a population variety, for which a selection has been carried out at the Estación Experimental de Aula Dei. A clon coming from Puebla de Soto (Murcia) and named 'Puebla de Soto AD 101' is one of the best of that selection. It displays a better behaviour in terms of lesser suckering and good compatibility with peach cultivars, among other aspects. However, its vegetative propagation aptitude by hardwood cutting is not good, as happens to occur with the other 'pollizos' included in that study. At present it is being propagated by in vitro techniques. In the present paper the morphological and phenological characteristics of 'Puebla de Soto AD 101' are described. | |
