Abstract

Abstract Flowering of seedlings was hastened on M IX and retarded on M XVI rootstocks, irrespective of the interstock and irrespective of the influence of rootstock or interstock on growth. Malus sikkimensis (Hook. f.) Koehne and M. hypehensis (Pamp.) Rehd. seedlings used as rootstocks reduced growth and retarded flowering. Vigor and precocity of a rootstock are independent properties, in that the ability of a rootstock to induce early flowering is determined by its specific precocity only. Under optimal conditions for growth, seedlings on their own roots may flower as soon as on M IX. The latter profit less from such conditions due to the growth retarding effect of the grafting or budding operation proper. Therefore, unless orchard space is limited, there is little advantage in using a rootstock such as M IX for shortening the juvenile period of apple seedlings.
