GROWTH OF TWO APPLE CULTIVARS FUJI AND TSUGARU GRAFTED ON M.9

H. Fukuda
The growth of Fuji is very vigorous even on the dwarfing rootstock M.9, but the dry matter production per g dry weight of the leaf of this cultivar did not differ from that of the less vigorous Tsugaru. The top/root ratio of Fuji trees was significantly higher than that of Tsugaru trees. It is suggested that the top of Fuji tree grows on a relatively smaller root system as compared with Tsugaru.
