Susceptibility to biotic and abiotic factors is the major concern in the temperate fruit crops which leads to the reduction in yield, poor quality of fruits, and sometimes the unproductiveness and death of the entire tree. Therefore, using suitable rootstocks for propagation plays a key role in enhancing the longevity of the orchard and help in fetching beautiful market price. In Temperate areas, winters are more severe as compared with the summers so, the evaluation of such rootstocks which are tolerant to cold and have higher chilling requirements is the most important prospect besides other known issues. The efficacy of a fruit orchard can be enhanced by combining two different plant parts of interest using budding and grafting some desirable characters for which a rootstock is being exploited are precocity, proliferate bearing, size control, and resistance against unfavorable conditions. Also, it exhibits some other effects on the scion cultivars in terms of performance. This review has focused only on some important fruit crops and describes the selection and evaluation of important rootstocks to increase the productivity of temperate fruit crops.
