In an evaluation of various orchard design alternatives for greatest efficiency, Cain (1) suggested that maximum efficiency in a hedgerow orchard would be achieved by trees with a spread of 10 feet and a maximum height of 12 feet. Various researchers (2, 4, 6, 8) have reported that the rootstock that comes closest to producing trees this size is M26. In addition, M26 had been found cold hardy (9), to have greater production efficiency than several larger rootstocks (2, 6), and produce large fruit size (7). In order to more fully evaluate the potential and productive efficiency of M26, a planting was established in 1968 at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center at Wooster, Ohio.
