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.
