In reviewing the history of pome fruit growing in Canada, certain principles emerge. (1) The Merits of the dwarf tree have been known for a long time. (2) The commercially available dwarfing stocks for apple, though far from being completely hardy are more cold-resistant than those of quince stocks for dwarfing pear. (3) Tree losses could be reduced and orchard performance improved with cold-hardy dwarfing root and trunk stocks that are resistant to diseases such as collar rot and pear decline.
