The data revealed that there exist a significant differences in number of branches and budling girth of peach, plum, apricot and almond budded on peach rootstock while there is no significant differences in percent bud take success, sprouting percentage and number of leaves. Maximum percent bud take success (90.0 %), bud sprouting percentage (87 5 %), budling growth (92.9 cm) number of branches (18.52), number of leaves (443.42) and budling girth (0.97) were recorded by plum budded on peach rootstock. Minimum percent bud take success (50 %), bud sprouting percentage (43.7). Minimum number of leaves (119.2) and budling girth (0.42 cm) were recorded by apricot budded on peach rootstock. Similarly minimum budling growth (51.6 cm) and number of branches (4.5) were recorded by almond budded on peach rootstock.
