The aim of this research was to determine the behavior of some peach varieties from other countries when grafted on rootstocks currently used in our country, in order to find variants that are suitable for cultivating this species in Banat region conditions and in the context of climate changes that have been influencing the fruiting of peach trees in recent years. The fruit weight and the fruit size index were determined. The study was conducted during the year 2017 and 2018. In 2017, the fruit weight had values between 57.31 g in the 'Gold Dust’ variety and 147.0 g in the 'Elbertina’ variety and the size index had values between 44.0 in 'Gold Dust’ variety and 63.45 in 'Desert Gold’ variety. In 2018, the fruit weight had values between 85.32 g in the DS 62-193 genotype and 149. 83g in the Piroș Magdalena variety and the size index had values between 47.33 in 'Early Red’ variety and 65.99 in 'Desert Gold’ variety.
