St. Julien Rootstock

St. Julien Rootstock

St. Julien Rootstock is a valuable plum rootstock for cold areas that experience fluctuating spring temperatures due to inconsistent spring weather conditions. Very cold hardy and semi-vigorous. Trees grafted onto St. Julien will grow to 75% of standard height.

Choosing the correct rootstock can be the difference between a tree thriving or dying on your site. Rootstocks not only determine the overall size, vigor, and precociousness of a tree but also what soil types it can grow in, its drought tolerance and how well anchored your tree will be.

Now you can propagate your own fruit trees for very low costs or preserve rare and heirloom varieties by grafting them onto to resilient rootstocks. Be sure to check compatibility of your desired scion with your choice of rootstock.
