Abstract:
Seasonal frosts frequently result in
the loss of a significant percentage of
the apple crop.
Some Pennsylvania
orchardists have observed on occasion
that the bloom of compact fruit trees
appeared more resistant to frost injury
than blossoms of the same scion rootedon
vigorous stocks.
A study was
conducted, therefore, to determine
whether rootstock vigor could effect
a differential response of the bloom
and immature fruit to frost.
Ten-year-old trees of the apple cultivar
'Stayman' on EM VII and standard
seedling rootstocks were used in
this investigation.
