Description

As a peach rootstock, ‘Hidakokufubenishidare’ was selected from local ornamental peach trees in Kokuhu-cho, Takayama city, Gifu prefecture, Japan, and registered for the Seed and Seedling Law of Japan in 2008. It was characterized by drooping, low tree height and double flowers with red petals. The maturation period was from late September to early October which was about 150 days after full bloom. It bears small clingstone fruits of 35 g and frequently contains double seeds. ‘Hidakokufubenishidare’ seedlings have high graft compatibility with major peach cultivars. When used as rootstock, death and trunk injury in young plants are suppressed compared to major rootstock varieties such as ‘Ohatsumomo’ or ‘Nagano-Yaseito’. Furthermore, tree vigor of budwoods is weaker and development of tree crowns is slightly slower than the major rootstock varieties. In trees using seedlings of this cultivar as rootstock, yields up to the 6th year are slightly lower than those using the major rootstock cultivar ‘Nagano-Yaseito’, but the fruit quality is equivalent. This new cultivar is suitable as a peach rootstock in cold areas, where death and trunk injury in young plants occur frequently because of freezing.<br>
