ORIGIN: Cornell University, USA
(Ottawa 3 x Malus floribunda)

PLANT AND ROOTSTOCK PERFORMANCE:

• Growth and vigour similar to vigorous M9 clones (Nic29 or Pajam2).
• Virtually immune to fire blight, highly tolerant of Phytophthora, not resistant to woolly aphid, some tolerance to replant disease.
• Excellent performance in stool beds.
• Produces a large nursery tree.
• First 2 years growth vigorous but cropping moderates vigour.
• Winter hardy but susceptible to early winter freezes as it grows late.
• Very sensitive to some latent viruses in scion wood, so scion wood must be virus-free.
• G16 shows high yield efficiency (similar to M9) and does not produce burrknots or suckers.
• Planting at 2000-4000 trees/ha.
