“Rootstock” are the base and roots of grafted fruit trees, which determine their size, growth rate, disease resistance, and other desirable qualities.

Rootstock Table
| M7 (EMLA 7) | Apple | Semi-dwarf 12-17’ | M7 Apple Rootstock grows to 65% of standard height, but can be kept smaller with summer pruning. Trees are well anchored, widely adapted, and winter hardy. Resistant to fireblight, powdery mildew, and root collar rot. Can be prone to suckering. |
| M27 (EMLA 27) | Apple | Super dwarfing 4-6’ | trees will max out at 6′. Best for container grown apples. |
| M26 (EMLA 26) | Apple | Dwarf 8-12’ | Trees on M26 Apple Rootstock grows 8-12 feet tall, is very winter hardy, adapted to most soils, and well anchored though may need staking on windy sites. Extremely vigorous for a dwarfing rootstock, trees on M26 also begin bearing early and produce few suckers. |
| M106 (EMLA 106) | Apple | Semi-Dwarf 10′-15′ | MM.106 EMLA is a semi-dwarf rootstock, producing a tree about 60% the size of seedling. It is quite precocious and productive and usually does not need tree support. A good choice for home gardens with well-drained soils and space for semi-dwarf trees, |
| M111 (EMLA 111) | Apple | Semi-dwarf 15′-25’ | M-111 Apple Rootstock is one of the most vigorous and well-adapted of apple rootstocks, M-111 is a semi-standard tree reaching 80% of standard tree’s height, or 15-25 ft. tall but can easily be kept at a manageable height with summer pruning. Tolerates, wet, dry, or poor soils and induces bearing at a young age. Well anchored and deep rooted. |
| Bud 9 | Apple | Dwarf 8-10’ | trees will be dwarfed 30-40%. Very cold hardy. Resistant to crown rot and fireblight |
| Antonovka | Apple | Semi-dwarf25-35’ | exceptionally hardy, down to minus 50 degrees Farenheit! Antonovka is suckerless and produces a full sized tree, growing 25 to 35 feet. Drought tolerant, adapted to many soil types. |
| Mazzard | Cherry | Semi-dwarf15-20’ | Good choice for wet and heavy soils. Slightly more vigorous than Mahalaeb, especially in poor soils |
| Mahaleb | Cherry | 90% of Standard | Performs in deep soils with good drainage. This rootstock is somewhat dwarfing, cold hardy and precocious. Deep rooted. Not recommended for heavy soils or areas with high water tables. |
| Lovell | Peach | Semi-dwarf12-18’ | For peach and other stone fruits. Slightly more resistant to wet conditions than other rootstocks. More cold hardy than nemaguard. Good choice for the Pacific Northwest. |
| Old Home x Farmingdale 333 | Pear | Semi-dwarf12-16’ | producing trees 12-16 feet tall. Resistant to fireblight, collar rot, woolly pear aphids and pear decline making it a very versatile rootstock. Precocious and well-anchored. Compatible with all pear varieties. |
| Diospyros virginiana | Persimmon | Non-dwarfing – Height determined by scion | Compatible with American and Asian persimmon. Vigorous and disease resistant. |
| UCB-1 | Pistachio | Semi-dwarf12-18’ | Superior disease resistance, cold tolerance and vigor. |
| St. Julien | Plum | Semi-dwarf10-12’ | valuable plum rootstock for cold areas that experience fluctuating spring temperatures due to inconsistent spring weather conditions. Better in Oregon than Citation |
| Provence | Quince | Semi-dwarf15-20’ | 55% of standard height, 15-20’. Can be used as a rootstock for European Pear, Quince, Loquat. Resistant to crown gall, pear decline and nematodes. |
| Nemaguard | Stone Fruits | Semi-dwarf12-18’ | highly resistant to root-knot nematode. Trees grafted on Nemaguard are fairly tolerant of waterlogged soils, very resistant to cold and form vigorous, strong trees. |
| Marianna 2624 Prunus | Plum | Semi-dwarf12-17’ | Vigorous and well adapted to many different soil types. Can be shallow rooted the first couple years and susceptible to leaning until established so staking may be necessary. Somewhat prone to suckering. Tolerates wet soils and does very well in the PNW. |
