No more mm111 for me

My original orchard planting of 8 apples trees on mm111 is now very mature. I will never plant trees on this rootstock again. I am tired of the work required for pruning. These things are way to vigourous for me. I prune in the winter and it just makes them send up more water sprouts. When I prune in the summer it seems like I sometimes get fireblight. The next few apples I planted were on mm106. Much easier to manage. My latest planting of about 20 trees is all on g890. I will never us…

Too vigorous, too much work and sometimes the pruning can lead to fire blight
