M116

M116 is a large semi-dwarf or small semi-vigorous rootstock compatible with all apple varieties and many crab-apples. It can be considered a direct replacement for the popular MM106 semi-vigorous apple rootstock. Despite the tree being roughly 10% smaller, it is capable of producing a similar yield. 

M116 is perhaps the best all-round apple rootstock for the European home orchard. It is much easier to manage than dwarf rootstocks such as M9, and does not need as much space as the more vigorous traditional rootstocks.

Please note our M116 rootstocks are not currently bio / organic. However you should be able to request a prorogation from your organic certification organisation.
