Plum rootstock--Pixy variety

摘要

The invention relates to a new and distinct variety of plum tree which is useful as a dwarfing rootstock. Plum trees grown on the understock of this variety attain about two-thirds of the size as those on St. Julien A understock, and are more precociously bearing thereby manifesting a greater cropping efficiency. Also, hedges of this variety exhibit a more spreading habit in contrast to the vigorous upright shoots of St. Julien type rootstocks, and are resistant to bacterial canker.
