A fruit tree survey, published in 1976, revealed that 54 percent of the apple trees in Ohio orchards were on size-controlling rootstocks (4). This figure was up from 25 percent in 1968. Plantings on size-controlling rootstocks have facilitated closer planting distances and, therefore, more trees per acre. With the apple, such rootstocks usually result in flower-bud formation at an earlier age and increased yields per acre compared to trees on standard rootstocks.
