KRYMSK 86 (KUBAN 86 cv.) (EXCLUSIVE TO ANFIC)
ROOTSTOCK DEVELOPED IN RUSSIA

GENERAL INFORMATION
Pedigree: A true Prunus persica x Prunus cerasifera hybrid.
Origin: Krasnodar region of Russia

CHARACTERISTICS

COMPATIBILITY:

Compatible with peach, plum and apricot (check apricot compatibility). Also reported to be compatible with almond. Compatibility of peach with the advantages of plum rootstocks.

COMMENTS:

Good choice for replant sites

ADAPTATION TO SOIL OR CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
Root-knot nematodes: Susceptible to root-knot nematodes
Lesion nematode: Highly resistant

Should replace Marianna plum rootstock.

Looks very exciting in the USA trials so far. Has very good adaptation to may soil types and soil problems. Trees look precocious and yield efficient. Possible low chill. Vigour similar to Lovell. Good compatibility with everything.

Very vigourous root system when established; similar to peach for tree size; very resistant to stress eg high pH soils, wet soils; tolerates salt, asphyxia; root anchorage excellent; 1 year old hardwood cuttings have roots like cables; roots mine for water and nutrients well; no difference seen if grown in good soils; wet sites for almonds in California are doing very well on Kuban 86 (used Marianna but incompatibility); check apricots for compatibility.
