Variety traits

Apple tree height

Malus domestica (Suckow) Borkh.

Apple tree height is a dynamic indicator that depends on the genetic characteristics of the cultivar, the type of rootstock, and the method of crown training.

In the reference 42 varieties crop Apple, where this is mentioned in the description.

In apple cultivar testing, tree height is measured in meters annually at the end of the growing season from the root collar to the tip of the central leader. When using seed rootstocks, trees reach 8–10 m, whereas in intensive orchards on dwarf rootstocks, the height is limited to 2.0–3.0 m.

Tree height directly determines agrotechniques, harvesting convenience, and the light regime of the crown. The genetically determined growth vigor of a cultivar, expressed, for example, in the compact form of columnar apple trees, requires adjustment through the selection of rootstock and pruning system to optimize productivity and fruit quality.
