Prunus persica var. Lovell, commonly known as Lovell Peach, is an exceptional rootstock cultivar offering robust advantages for both commercial and home orchardists. Originally a canning and drying peach, this chance seedling discovered in California in 1882 has transformed the art of grafting, providing a sturdy foundation for grafting varietal scions. Lovell Peach exhibits increased tolerance for wet soils, showcasing its ability to thrive where others might falter. Its superior cold hardiness and disease resistance make it an invaluable asset, ensuring long-lived, productive trees. Lovell rootstock is particularly successful with peaches, plums, nectarines, apricots, prunes, and almonds, thanks to its excellent graft compatibility. Although susceptible to root-knot nematode, it exhibits resistance to bacterial canker and partial resistance to lesion and ring nematodes. It delivers a high yield of luscious, yellow-fleshed fruit, characterized by its freestone pit. Add the enduring legacy of Lovell Peach to your orchard, and enjoy bountiful harvests for years to come.
