Trunk and scaffold limb injury due to low temperatures has occurred on apple trees in Ohio and other fruit growing areas of the world. This resulted in a search for methods which would reduce this type of winter injury. A study was initiated in 1955 to determine the influence of a series of hardy intermediate stocks from Canada and indirectly from the Soviet Union on the resistance to this low temperature injury. These stocks were propagated at Wooster on apple seedling rootstocks and subsequently top-worked to 'Ruby' and 'Richared' in the orchard. Generally 4 primary scaffolds of the intermediate stocks were budded to either of the two cultivars. 'Ruby' and 'Richared' were also budded on apple seedling rootstocks with and without topworking as a basis of comparison to standard trees.
