<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" class="">Hello Everybody,<br
class="">
I am trying to figure out who is involved in the apple
trials too. I am also looking for a potential
coordinator and participates of the a new apple
rootstocks trial 2018. We can discuss these subjects
during the meeting. Actually I received a request of
interest from Susanne Blatt. I would like to know if
other State are interested.<br class="">
I am also asking Gennaro if he can provide a list of
new rootstocks from his program to be included in the
new trial. It will be nice if you can present
informally to the apple group some of the new
genotypes you are testing. I knew you are testing
new genotypes also in Washington and I would like to
know if you have in mind 3-4 genotypes interesting
that can be included in the 2018 trial.
<br class="">
During the meeting I also would like to have a
discussion about the future trials design and
management.<br class="">
Following the report of 2015 I build up this table
please fill it with your name and if the trial have
two cultivars specify which you have under evaluation.<br
class="">
It will take only few minute to do, but it can provide
a general picture of the existing situation and the
name of the person involved as referent. If your State
is not listed in the table please add a column.
<br class="">
Kind regards,<br class="">

Here the apple section of the 2015 report. <br
class="">
<br class="">
A paper was submitted to the Journal of the American
Pomological Society with the title “Time Required
for Classifying Rootstock Vigor in Multi-location
Rootstock Trialsâ€. This paper will likely appear in
the January issue of the JAPS. Data from the 1994 and
2003 apple rootstock trials were used to determine the
time required to classify rootstock vigor. Very
vigorous rootstocks, such as PiAu 56-83 and very low
vigor rootstocks, such as M.27, were statistically
different than standard rootstocks (M.26 and M.9 size
class) by the fourth year after planting. Six or seven
years were required to separate M.26 and M.9 NAKBT337,
but rootstocks in the same size class (M.9 NAKBT337,
G.935 and G.16) were not significantly different after
10 years. In future NC-140 apple rootstock trials, we
should be able to accurately classify rootstock vigor
after six or seven years at most locations.
<br class="">
<br class="">
The 2010 NC-140 Apple Rootstock Trial includes 10
Budagovsky, 16 Geneva, 3 Pillnitz, and 3 Malling
(controls) rootstocks. Fourteen locations use
Honeycrisp as the scion cultivar, and 7 locations use
Aztec Fuji. All trees were supported to approximately
3.5 m and grown as Tall Spindles. At the end of 5
growing seasons and across all locations, the largest
Honeycrisp trees are on B.70-20-20. This rootstock
results in a tree much too vigorous for high-density
planting. The smallest trees are on B.71-7-11. This
rootstock results in a Honeycrisp tree which is too
weak for commercial use. Yield efficiency did not
vary greatly among rootstocks, except that the most
vigorous (e.g., B.70-20-20) are very inefficient.
Fruit size has been good for all Honeycrisp trees in
this trial, except for those from trees on PiAu 9-90.
In the Fuji trial, some trees were lost in the first
season due to damage in the nursery, but since that
time, trees have grown very well. At the end of 5
growing seasons, largest Fuji trees were on B.70-20-20
and the smallest were on B.71-7-22. As with
Honeycrisp, both rootstocks would be consider
unacceptable. Generally, yield efficiency was
negatively related to tree size. Fruit size was
relatively consistent, except fruit from trees on
B.7-20-21 were much smaller than those from all
others. Trees on PiAu 9-90 continue to have severe
chlorosis in BC, a sickly appearance, and often small
fruit size.<br class="">
<br class="">
The 2014 Apple rootstock planting was established in
15 locations in the United States (AL, ID, IN, MA, ME,
MI, MN, GA, NJ, NY, PA, UT, VA, WA, WI), two in
Canada, and one in Mexico (<a moz-do-not-send="true"

The trial consists of the following rootstocks: B.10,
G.11, G.202, G.214, G.30, G.41, G.5890, G.935, G.969,
M.26 EMLA, M.9 T337, V.1, V.5, V.6, V.7. The trial is
being coordinated by John Cline who has also agreed to
analyze the data. This trial has two cultivars: Aztec
Fuji (AL, ID, GA, NJ, ON, PA, UT) and Honeycrisp (ID,
IN, MA, ME, Mexico, MI, MN, NJ, NY, Ontario, PA, VA,
WA, WI), planted to a ‘tall spindle’ systems at a
5 x 12 feet, and 4 x12 feet spacing, respectively.
Trees are planted using a randomized block design with
single trees serving as experimental units. Each site
selected a pollinizer variety since some sites are
very limited in adapted varieties. Trees were
established in the spring of 2014. The trees were
propagated by Willow Drive Nursery, WA. Data protocols
have been established for 2014 and 2015. In 2014, the
following data were recorded: 1) initial trunk
diameter measured at planting 30cm above graft union;
2) number of side branches >10 cm at planting; 3)
trunk circumference in the fall of 2014; 4) height of
the graft union above soil; 5) tree status at the end
of the 2014 growing season.<br class="">
<br class="">
For the 2015 Organic Apple Rootstock Trial, trees have
been dug at Wafler Nursery. The trial will be planted
at 14 locations and will evaluate 9 Geneva rootstocks
and 1 Malling rootstock. Modi is the cultivar and
Liberty will be the pollenizer. The design is five
blocks in two-tree sets and will require 1/10 acre.
Organic certification is optional, but orchard
management must be organic. Land does not have to be
organically certified prior to planting.

<p class="">I need to know who is participating
in the 2015 Organic Modi Apple Trial. In
2015, I received data from IA, MA, MI, NJ, NM,
NY-Ithaca, NY-Geneva, Vermont, and WI. My
initial list suggested that California,
Chihuahua, Colorado, Idaho and Nova Scotia
were also involved, but I have not seen any
