2023年12月30日 · You could use M111 as your roots and then a dwarfing precocious variety as an interstem in between your rootstock and cultivated variety. That might give you the best of both worlds. M111 is a good rootstock. But, you could die before you ever see fruit on it. I do not think the depth of clay is much of an issue. None of the apples have deep roots.

2019年8月22日 · MM.111 EMLA is one of the more vigorous semi-dwarf rootstocks, producing a tree about 85 to 100% the size of seedling. It is resistant to wooly apple aphid and is quite tolerant to fire blight and crown and root rots. It is fairly winter hardy and produces moderate amounts of burr knots and root suckers.

2024年9月27日 · M111 is going to take longer to bear fruit and a lot more pruning to keep reachable from the ground. Anything M.7 or below should be good. If you have cold weather, Bud-9 would be a good choice. It is not a world beater in productivity, but still has good productivity. They say it imparts excellent color to apples.

2016年2月17日 · I picked M9/M111 as the predominant rootstock for my site - good clay soil, high water table, exposed site with a lot of wind - due to recommendations, at the time, for it providing excellent anchorage. Just didn’t perform as advertised for me. Trees on M7, M106, and at least one on M26 have all shown anchorage superior to those on M111…here.

Produces a semi-standard heavy bearing, precocious, well anchored tree about 20 feet tall. This rootstock has fiberous roots and does well in a wide variety of soils. It is hardy to -35° F. It produces burr knots at the base and should be planted almost up to the graft line.

MM.111/MM.111 EMLA is a semi-standard rootstock, a cross of Malling 2 and Northern Spy that produces trees about 85% of full size. Its major strengths are pest and disease tolerance (collar rot, fireblight, and WAA), and its tolerance for heavy, wetter soils. It produces upright and vigorous trees that are cold hardy and self-supporting.

2023年3月4日 · All of our apple varieties are grafted onto Mailing-Merton 111 (M111) rootstock. Released in 1952, M111 hails from a Northern Spy x Merton 793 cross that was developed over a decades-long collaboration between the East Mailing Research Station and the John Innes Horticultural Institute.

Our solution to this problem is using B-118 and M-111 rootstock, which are perfect for growing a self supporting tree that will have hundreds of pounds more apples on them at maturity. These rootstock are by far the most forgiving of all rooting systems and lets wildlife managers choose where they plant their trees.

A vigorous, well anchored, drought tolerant rootstock. M111 creates a large semi dwarf tree 15-17 ft. if unpruned. Widely adapted to light or heavy soils. Resistant to collar rot. ZONE: n/a. POLLINATION/BLOOM TIME: Depends on scion wood. RECOMMENDED GROWING AND CARE: Full sun, balanced moisture, reduce grass competition in root zone.

We grow both clonal and seedling, virus free fruit tree rootstock for apple, cherry, pear, plum, and peach. We also grow several deciduous ornamental seedlings and cuttings which include maple, oak, beech, Planetree and serviceberry
