This study aimed to evaluate the tissue union and initial growth of 'Aurora-1' peach buds on mume clones (Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc.) and 'Okinawa' [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] propagated by herbaceous cuttings. Two experiments were carried out, being adopted the chip budding (March) and chip budding modified (July). The results showed that accomplishment of 'Aurora-1' peach bud on mume Clones 05, 10 and 15 and 'Okinawa' is viable, in both periods, with the methodologies used. The 'Okinawa' induces faster growth to the bud and the maximum length point is reached in a short time.
