Peach Rootstock

[KSQ2]

We have 3 peach trees here at the house we put in the ground about 10 years ago. They have gotten no love from me at all and are still thriving; in other words, they’re tough as nails. Two appear to be semi-dwarf and one dwarf. I’d like to get some rootstock and grow a few of them for the Massey. Do any of you have any recommended sources? Thanks in advance.

I'm not in to peaches, but I have heard this is a good rootstock. Can't believe the price is so high. You might find cheaper.
PS - Also read what they say about chip budding.

Thanks Native, I’ll give them a call tomorrow. The planting in the ground and grafting to them is interesting.

I have read that wild plum can be used as a rootstock for peaches. At least they’d be cheap, haven’t tried it yet.

Yes sir, they look great.

I have peaches growing in my yard. They're so much better tree ripened than from the store. My neighbors agree they are the best they've ever had. Now, if I could consistently keep them from getting brown mold, that would be a different story.
