Abstract

Successful graft combinations between four crabapple species (Malus sargenti, M. floribunda, M. P.‘Lemoinei’ and M. bacccata) and six rootstocks (‘M.9’, ‘M.26’, ‘M.7’, ‘MM 104’, ‘MM 106’ and ‘MM 111’) ranged between 0-90% and averaged 33% as compared to 90-100% with an average of 92% for ‘Golden Deilcious’; incompatibility differences were apparently due to latent viruses in the scion cultivars. The crabapple ‘scions’ did not produce as much terminal growth and were smaller than ‘Golden Delicious’ on these rootstocks.
