Breeding and Cultivation of Some Dwarf Nectarine Cultivars in Romania

摘要

Nectarine tree is one of the most appreciated fruit species cultivated in the temperate climate for special qualities of fruit and for the particularities of the trees (precocious, productive and proper capacity to recover after climatic damages). Inthe last years, in Romania, the orchard owners' aims were to plant intensive orchards and to use dwarf and semi-dwarf trees. In this paper we present some nectarine and brugnone cultivars, which produced good results in the south-eastern part of Romania. The recommended nectarine cultivars are: 'Melania', 'Naica', and 'Liviu', that are dwarf cultivars, and 'Valerica', a semi-dwarf brugnone.
