Rootstock
All peach trees, including dwarf varieties, are grown in Golden Queen peach seedlings as the rootstock. Nectarines, peaches, apricots and some varieties of plum are compatible with peach rootstock, as they are all part of the Prunus genus. For dwarf stonefruit trees, it is the variety which is dwarfing rather than the rootstock. Dwarf varieties can be identified by the short distance between buds (short internodes is the technical term).
