Title: Lack of Apple Cultivar and Root Pruning Interaction
Authors: D.C. Ferree and J.C. Schmid
Abstract:
The influence of root pruning on five apple cultivars with widely differing growth habits and growth potential on MM. 111 rootstock was compared over nine years.
Root pruning had little effect on growth or cropping. 'Mutsu' were the largest trees and produced one of the highest cumulative yields/tree, and one of the
lowest yield efficiencies. 'Jonathan' and 'Redchief Delicious' had low cumulative yields. 'Lawspur Rome
Beauty' and 'Smoothee Golden Delicious' had higher yield efficiency than the other cultivars.
There was no
interaction between cultivar and root pruning.
