The use of apple rootstocks has transformed modern orchard management by enabling precise regulation of tree size and improving overall performance. Dwarfing rootstocks, in particular, manipulate ...

A significant study has uncovered the genetic mechanisms behind apple rootstock dwarfing, a practice pivotal for efficient and high-yield apple farming. The research delves into the role of the MdARF3 ...

• Background and Aims Precocious flowering in apple trees is often associated with a smaller tree size. The hypothesis was tested that floral evocation in axillary buds, induced by dwarfing rootstocks ...

Many people love fresh fruit, but it isn’t easy to grow in today’s smaller yards. Luckily, many dwarf fruit trees are available that fit well in compact landscapes, but they will likely need to be ...

Apple (Malus × domestica) is globally valued for its taste and nutrition, yet achieving optimal quality is challenging due to the impact of factors like crop load and rootstock on fruit development.

This paper considers statistical analyses for comparing the distribution of root length density (RLD) of apple trees under different rootstocks and tree spacing. The source data included RLD values ...

Q: I watched your pruning videos on YouTube and learned a lot. Is it possible to reduce the size of a standard-sized apple tree to a dwarf size this way? A: Probably not. Standard-sized apple trees ...

As prices bite and climate quirks intensify, a quiet shift is taking root in Britain’s back gardens this autumn. Across allotments and patios, growers are ...

Citrus cultivation relies heavily on the performance of rootstocks, which significantly influence fruit quality by modulating growth, water-use efficiency, and disease resistance. The interaction ...

Question for Dan Gill: I saw an ad for a mail order nursery offering several dwarf citrus plants that can be grown in containers. I would like to order some, but I’m concerned about how successful ...
