M9 – Dwarf. Up to 2.5m high.

M111/M9 – Dwarf. Up to 2.5m high.

A combination of a vigorous rootstock and a dwarfing rootstock.

Doesn’t need permanent staking.
It produces a tree with a strong root system that is suited to poorer and wetter soils than any other rootstock, yet still allows for a small tree.
This combination of MM111 with an M9 interstem is ideal for more marginal growing areas where a small tree is required.
Due to the extra work involved, these trees sell for £24. Pre ordering a season or two beforehand is recommended.
