Title: Fruit Tree Rootstocks
Post by: InfraDig on February 25, 2010, 21:32:05

I have just been given a "mini-Orchard" as an early birthday present. The instructions say they can be potted up into 30L pots. They are:

Victoria Plum - St Julianne A rootstock
Conference Pear - Quince
Braeburn Aplle - M9
Morello Cherry - Colt

I don't have any option other than to grow them in pots.

I would appreciate any thoughts!
Thanks very much.

Hi InfraDig

This link will take you to RHS page that says the rootstock will produce a tree approx 13-15 ft but if pruned to a pyramid then a lot smaller. Also gives advice on how to prune :)
