The research of different rootstock combinations with two plum varieties was conducted in an experimental orchard at the Research and Breeding Institute of Pomology in Holovousy. Late ripening variety ´Elena´ (P. domestica L.) was grafted on 4 vegetatively propagated rootstocks (Fereley, MY-KL-A, Pixy, St. Julien A) and 2 generatively propagated rootstocks (Myrobalan, Wangenheim). The second, late ripening variety ´Presenta´ (P. domestica L.) was grafted onto a generatively propagated rootstock Wangenheim and a vegetatively propagated rootstock St. Julien A. The following characteristics were evaluated: cumulative yield per tree, yield efficiency, mean fruit weight, trunk cross-sectional area and number of suckers. The results showed that with ´Elena´ variety the highest yield, maximum weight of one fruit and highest yield efficiency was found with Fereley rootstock. With this variety, MY-KL-A had the least number of suckers. ´Presenta´ had the highest yield in combination with St. Julien A.
