Excerpt from The Cause and Permanence of Size Differences in Apple Trees
Variability in size of apple trees may be due to many fac tors, but in case of the stock and scion orchard at Highmoor Farm the only known factor which might cause permanent dif terences in size was the variability of the seedling root systems.
The best grade of one year old nursery stock is recommend ed because the size differences will depend in part at least on in herent differences in the trees and not to differences in age. The one-year whips can also be transplanted with less shock than can an older tree.
