Abstract:
The performance of 3 cultivars of pear (Pyrus
communis L.) on rootstocks of Quince A, C and
pear seedlings was studied over a 16 year
period in a trial planted at distances 5 x 3 m.
Pear trees were trained as compact free standing
hedgerow crowns.
The planting was subjected
to severely cold 3 winters during which the
temperature reached -30 to -32°C. Tree survival
was higher on the two quince rootstocks in
comparison with pear seedling rootstock.
The
anchorage of trees on quince rootstocks did not
prevent leaning of the trees but the trees did not
appear to affect growth and tree fruiting.
Root
stocks of Quince A and C increased an orchard
yield by 8-14 and 14-27% respectively.
Fruit
quality did not differ greatly.
