BA29

BA29 is a semi-vigorous precocious rootstock for pears, derived from the Provence quince. Quince rootstocks are widely used for producing semi-dwarf and semi-vigorous European pear trees, but note they are not compatible with all varieties.

BA29 produces a mature tree with a height of 3m – 4m.

Trees grafted on BA29 can be planted as bushes or small half-standards, spaced 3.5m – 4m apart. This is also a good rootstock for grafting large fan and espalier pear trees.
