Title: The History of the Vineland (V.) Apple Rootstocks
Authors: D.C. Elfving, I. Schecter and A. Hutchinson
Abstract:
The Vineland (V.) rootstocks originated at
the Horticultural Research Institute of Ontario,
Vineland Station, as open-pollinated seedlings
of 'Kerr' applecrab.
Dr.
Aleck Hutchinson made
seven selections at Vineland.
Five selections
have received some testing as rootstocks, while
two remain untested.
Tree-size control among
the five tested selections varies from smaller
than M.9 EMLA to approximately M.7 EMLA.
Precocity, productive efficiency, fireblight survival data, and their cold-hardy and fireblightresistant
ancestry suggest that these rootstock
selections merit more extensive testing.
Three
selections (V.I, V.2, V.3) will be included in
the 1994 NC-140 apple rootstock evaluation
planting.
