Apple Rootstock: M.26 EMLA

M.26 is a dwarfing rootstock that produces trees about 40-50% the size of standard. It is precocious, productive, and excellent for small orchards and backyard growers - though it requires staking in most soils. Popular for early harvests and easy pruning.

Key Characteristics

  • Dwarf size (40-50% of standard) - Grows to about 8-10 ft with compact canopy and excellent fruit access.
  • Early fruiting - Begins bearing within 2-3 years; ideal for quick turnaround on planting investments.
  • Moderate disease resistance - Resists powdery mildew and woolly apple aphid; susceptible to fire blight and root rot.
  • Good for fertile, well-drained soils - Performs best in rich soils with regular care.
  • Requires permanent support - Not self-supporting and must be staked throughout its life.

Product Details

  • Tree Size at Maturity: 40-50% of standard (dwarf)
  • Soil Requirements: Fertile, well-drained
  • Compatible With: Most apple cultivars
  • Resistance: Powdery mildew, woolly apple aphid
  • Support Needed: Yes

M.26 is a solid dwarfing option for smaller gardens and early production - ideal where permanent staking is feasible.
