According to existing research, there are many plant species that can be used as peach rootstocks, mainly in the following categories.

(A) Common Peach Live Rootstock

Common peach live seedlings used as peach rootstocks are still the most common in peach cultivation in the world today. According to the source of peach seeds, they can be further divided into the following three categories.

1. Wild type

That is, the seeds used for propagation come from the wild. According to a survey by Rom, R.C. (1984), 10 out of 25 peach-producing countries use wild peach seeds as production rootstocks. The biggest disadvantage of wild-type peach rootstocks is the large genetic differences between their individuals, resulting in inconsistent seedlings and untidy trees among individuals in the orchard.

2. Cultivated varieties

That is, the seeds used for propagation generally come from some processing varieties or dried varieties, which occupy the second place in the common peach rootstocks. In the United States, Canada, Mexico and other countries, this kind of rootstock varieties are: Halford, Lovell; in Argentina is mainly Polara and Sims (Sims); Australia for the Golden Queen (Golden Queen), Elberta (Elberta) and Wright, etc.; Israel for Baladi; South Africa and Zimbabwe for the Kakamas and Du Plessi in South Africa and Zimbabwe; Cape de Bosg and Conserva in Brazil; and Bale Elita in Romania. seedlings propagated on these rootstocks are relatively neat and uniform.

3. Screening Special Rootstock

(Special Rootstock Seletions)

This type is specially selected for rootstock production, there is no other economic value, i.e., the fruit of the edible processing value is very small. Such as Canada's Siberia and Harrow Blood; the United States has Bailey (Bailey), Rutgers Red Leaf and Nemared, etc.; France and Southern Europe has GF305 and Rubim; Czech Republic and Slovakia has BV1, BV2, BV3, BV4, etc.; Japan has Ohatsumomo. this type of rootstock often have special properties, such as cold resistance, etc., in a number of specific areas have important value of popularization and application.

(B) peach interspecies hybridization

Peach interspecies hybrids have been used in many countries for rootstock production. In France and some countries in southern Europe to use peach rootstock and lentil hybrid hybrid GF556, GF677 as an important rootstock promotion, these asexual propagation of rootstock can grow well in alkaline soils, with the ability to resist chlorosis, in addition to resistance to humidity, drought and resistance to replanting diseases. Peach x hickory hybrids are widely used as rootstocks in California and Florida in the United States, and these rootstocks have resistance to root-knot nematodes, making them popular in areas with mild, wet winters.

(C) Plum and plum hybrids

Except for peach solid rootstocks and interspecific hybrids of peach, plums are the most widely used peach rootstocks. They are suitable for wet and flooded lands. These rootstocks are mainly from the Urizia plum (P. insititia), such as St. Julien d'Orleans, St. Julien hybrid 1, 2, St. Julien GF655.2; cherry plum (P. cerasifera), such as Myrobalans; European plum (P. domestica), such as GF655.2, St. Julien GF655.2, St. Julien GF655.2, St. Julien GF655.2, and St. Julien GF655.2, St. Julien GF655.2. domestica), e.g. GF43; European plum × goose plum (P. munsoniana) hybrid, e.g. Marianna, GF8-1; European plum × blackthorn plum (P. spinosa), e.g. Damas GF1869.

(D) Other peach plants

Peach hickory, honeysuckle, apricot, wattle plum, Chinese plum , Hairy Cherry, Yasha Cherry (P. besseyi), etc. can be used as peach rootstocks, but none of them have been widely accepted in the world.
