Variety traits
Malus pumila L. Mill.
The vigor of Paradise Apple (Malling rootstocks) characterizes the ability of a clonal rootstock to limit the dimensions of a grafted tree. This parameter is key to intensive horticulture, determining planting density, precocity, and technological maintenance requirements.
In the reference 12 varieties crop Paradise apple, where this is mentioned in the description.
The vigor of 'Paradise' type rootstocks is evaluated by their influence on scion development, where the main indicators are tree height, canopy volume, and trunk cross-sectional area. In anatomical studies, rootstock dwarfing is determined by morphological characteristics: increased wood brittleness and a specific vascular system structure.
The use of dwarfing rootstocks allows for high-density planting schemes, accelerates the onset of apple tree fruiting, and simplifies canopy management. However, due to low vigor and a shallow root system, trees on Paradise rootstocks have reduced wind stability, which necessitates the mandatory installation of stakes or trellises.
