Productivity of paradise apple

Malus pumila L. Mill.

The productivity of Malus pumila forms is evaluated through scion-rootstock combinations, determining the balance between vegetative growth and generative load. This indicator is critical for assessing clonal rootstocks that ensure early fruit bearing and the technical efficiency of intensive orcha…

In the reference 4 varieties crop Paradise apple, where this is mentioned in the description.

When evaluating the productivity of paradise apples, indicators of yield per tree or per unit area are used, as well as specific productivity, calculated as the ratio of crop mass to the cross-sectional area of the trunk or crown volume. This allows for an objective comparison of the efficiency of various clonal rootstocks and varieties, leveling the influence of tree size.

The high productivity of these apple forms is characterized by regularity of fruiting and optimal resource distribution, where the dwarfing rootstock redirects the plant's energy from vegetative growth to crop formation. This trait directly affects the economic efficiency of using the form as a rootstock, determining its capacity for precocity and the ease of tree maintenance in intensive plantings.
