The EM-C rootstock, also known as Quince C or QC, is not intended for fruit production and is used exclusively in horticulture as a base for grafting pear trees. Among the East Malling series rootstocks, it stands out as the most dwarfing, ensuring the most compact tree size.
The plant is easily propagated vegetatively using hardwood cuttings or layering. The rootstock has specific compatibility with various pear varieties, which may affect yield, and requires the selection of specific soil conditions for effective use.
1 jurisdiction
Green indicates countries where the variety is listed in the national catalogue and its seeds are authorized for sale. Expired registrations are marked separately: the variety was previously admitted, but sale is no longer permitted.
A single variety may be registered in different countries under different names. All records are consolidated into one profile based on the breeder's code—an internal number that is identical for the variety across all registries.
The primary name shown is the one under which the variety is registered in the largest number of jurisdictions. Search finds the variety by any of its names.
Records are sourced from official registry publications. Data sources and legal status
The directory replicates the primary source. If an entry differs from the official publication, please specify the discrepancy and provide a link if possible. Corrections are added to the moderation queue.
