Abstract:
Different ornamental characters, habitus, color, texture, given the adaptability of the various species to the site-specific environmental conditions, are the starting point for the choice ofspecies for landscaping. Thus, it appears the opportunity to use a planting material well suited to the conditions of our country that create a sustainable ornamental effect.In the present paper we’ve studied the compatibility in grafting of ornamental fruit species grafted on different rootstocks and the behavior of the material in the nursery. Two grafting methods were tested: chip budding and grafting in 'T' with sleeping buds. For each of the five species studied, two types of rootstocks were used. For Prunus serrulata Kanzan Lindl. mahaleb rootstocks and wild cherry were used. Prunus cerasifera Pisardii Ehrh. was grafted on mirobolan and ‘Roşior văratic’. And the species Malus baccata Borkh., Malus golden hornet Rehder. and Malus purpureea Rehd. were grafted on Malus sylvestris Mill and vegetative type MM 106.
