Rootstocks

A rootstock is chosen for the soil before it is chosen for the variety.

Available rootstocks

  • BA29BA29Selection of Provence quince released by INRA Angers. It has a strong, fine, branched root system that ensures good anchorage. It prefers fertile, cool soils, and also tolerates dry soils with active lime up to 6-7%. Moderately sensitive to Erwinia amylovora, but susceptible to Agrobacterium tumefaciens, “pear decline”, viruses and cold. Rather vigorous, it comes into bearing slowly but has good, consistent productive capacity, especially with the more vigorous species. It gives good fruit size and enhances the appearance and eating quality of the fruit.
  • MAMAQuince MA (Malling A) is a quince selection that gives the tree medium-low vigour, quick bearing and excellent productivity. Good general resistance to insects and to heavy or wet soils compared with other rootstocks.
