PI80 SUPPORTER 4 APPLE ROOTSTOCK

Pedigree: M9 x M4.

Precocity: Similar to M26. Productivity - competitive with M.26, more yield efficient than M26 in some German trials.

Anchorage:

• Support usually recommended for young orchards and reported to be better anchored than M.26.
• Moderate to excellent hardiness reported.
• Light suckering, light burrknots, stoolbed performance excellent, perhaps the best. No virus hypersensitivities noted.

Observations:

PI-80 may become a strong competitor with M26.

Reports vary, but Pi-80 is usually reported to impart slightly more vigor on the scion than M.26.

Orchard trials have shown PI-80 to be as productive as M.26 or better, but it is easier to propagate in the stoolbed.

Extensive testing and now planting in Europe has generated strong interest in this rootstock.
