Sandy soils or gravels need the utmost attention in terms of water availability and irrigation systems; the latter should be preferably fixed.
In case of limited water or no irrigation, vigorous rootstocks such as Gf677 should be preferred for peaches and nectarines, while Mirabolano29c rootstock – grown using meristematic tissues, is mostly indicated for plums and apricots.
Seedling rootstocks are widely recommended on pear trees, alternatively you can use Farold40® that is perfect for William and Carmen pears; instead, self-rooted Conference rootstock is an excellent option for Abate Fetel cv.
