Multi-prunus Rootstock

Multi-prunus rootstock are highly versatile.
St Julian is a multi-prunus rootstock, suitable for grafting certain varieties of Peaches, Nectarines, Apricots, Plums, Gages, Damsons, and Almonds. Whereas Myrobalan is suitable for all plums and some apricots.

Grafting stone fruit is not straight forward, and not all rootstock are compatible with all varieties.


The scion variety you graft onto a multi-prunus rootstock will also have a large influence on the vigour and mature height of your tree. For example, St Julian is more dwarfing for peach or nectarine, and less dwarfing for plum.


Multi-prunus rootstock are not suitable for grafting Cherry varieties, even though they are a stone fruit -
a cherry variety can only be grafted onto a cherry rootstock.

Maple Grove Nursery is a production nursery and farm. We grow all our rootstock, and we are not a reseller. Once we have sold out of our rootstock, we will not have any more available until the following season. Please feel free to request a back in stock notification as this will alert you when we update our inventory in March and open for pre-harvest sales.


Please note: all percentages for mature tree size are given as a guide only and the eventual size of your grafted tree will be influenced by a number of factors, including the soil type and fertility, local climate conditions and the vigour of the scion wood cultivar.
