Abstract: An improved Prunus dulcis variety is provided that is well suited for serving as a pollenizer for the widely-grown ‘Nonpareil’ variety (non-patented in the United States). Good bloom overlap in combination with good production quality is displayed. The tree exhibits an upright and spreading growth habit. Abundant lateral vegetative growth is produced on current season shoots which makes possible high tree productivity. Desirable fruit and kernel characteristics for shelled and possessed almond production are displayed.

Abstract: An improved almond×peach clonal rootstock is provided that was the product of a planned breeding program. It can be used to particular advantage when growing almond cultivars for commercial fruit production. The new rootstock provides excellent anchorage through the presence of a well-branched network of deep roots. The growth habit is vigorous and uniform. Efficient asexual propagation by the use of hardwood cuttings is possible. The resulting plants are well amenable to transplantation and storage and exhibit good pest resistance and winter hardiness. A wide adaptation to nursery growing conditions is achieved. Additionally, the long tern survival of the rootstock has been found to be superior to that of ‘Hansen 536’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,173) and ‘Hansen 2168’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 5,210).
