Abstract

The Mark rootstock was selected 20 years ago from a group of seedlings obtained from open pollinated trees of M. 1 through 16, Robusta-5 and Alnarp-2. The flower parent of Mark was M. 9 and it was propagated and tested as Michigan Apple Clone 9 (MAC-9). The name Mark was coined to designate its place of origin, namely M for Michigan; A for apple; R for rootstock and K for klone. Since its selection, Mark has been tested for compatibility, dwarfing and precocity with McIntosh, Jonathan and Delicious (Red Prince strain).
