The Vineland (V.) rootstocks originated at the Horticultural Research Institute of Ontario, Vineland Station, as open-pollinated seedlings of ‘Kerr’ applecrab. Dr. Aleck Hutchinson made seven selections at Vineland. Five selections have received some testing as rootstocks, while two remain untested. Tree-size control among the five tested selections varies from smaller than M.9 EMLA to approximately M.7 EMLA. Precocity, productive efficiency, fireblight survival data, and their cold-hardy and fireblight-resistant ancestry suggest that these rootstock selections merit more extensive testing. Three selections (V.1, V.2, V.3) will be included in the 1994 NC-140 apple rootstock evaluation planting.
