‘Mutsu’ on MAC.9, M.9/MM.106 and M.9/MM.111 (30 cm interstems) were planted in 1983. Trees on MAC.9 made less growth throughout, and after 9 years had 65% smaller TCA's and approximately 40% smaller spread and neights than either interstem. There was no difference in production efficiency (cumulative yield ÷ TCA) and due to larger tree size, interstem trees had higher cumulative yields/tree. Average fruit size was not influenced by rootstock or interstem.
