Rootstock is the foundation
An apple tree is a fruiting variety grafted onto a rootstock. The rootstock controls vigour (tree size), precocity (how soon it fruits), disease resistance and soil tolerance — the single biggest decision when planting.
Matching stock to site
Dwarfing stocks like M9, B9 and G41 suit irrigated high-density blocks; B9 adds cold tolerance for higher altitudes. Vigorous MM111 handles drought-prone hillsides. MM106 remains a dependable medium-density workhorse across Himachal and Kashmir.
