Montclar is a vigorous peach seedling rootstock used mainly for peaches, nectarines and apricots on fertile, well-drained soils. It promotes early cropping, strong productivity and rapid tree development. Its tolerance of lime-induced chlorosis is reasonably good but not unlimited, so highly calcareous, compact or waterlogged soils should still be avoided. Montclar is primarily intended for spacious gardens and commercial orchards.

A vigorous peach seedling rootstock widely used for peaches, nectarines and apricots.
Montclar Peach Rootstock is a peach seedling rootstock widely appreciated for peaches, nectarines and apricots. It provides balanced to strong vigour, good productivity and reliable compatibility with many stone fruit varieties.
Compared to GF677, Montclar generally induces slightly lower vigour while encouraging early cropping and good fruit production. It is particularly valued for orchard planting on well-drained virgin soils and is commonly used for apricot cultivation.
Montclar also shows good adaptation to calcareous soils and relatively good tolerance to chlorosis, making it a versatile rootstock for a wide range of growing conditions.
