| Description |
'Bailey' is a naturalized peach selection from Iowa, circa 1836, that produces uniform seedlings with good vigour. It has good cold hardiness for a peach and is rated only slightly less cold-hardy than 'Siberian C'. A standard rootstock for more northern peach growing areas because of good cold tolerance. It has fair tolerance to root-lesion nematode and is a popular rootstock on sandy soils in more northern climates. It will usually produce a slightly smaller tree than 'Lovell, but is very productive. It is susceptible to root-knot nematodes, waterlogging, fungal root rots and PTSL in the southern USA. |
