Bittenfelder is intended for full-sized orchard trees planted for the long term. This seedling rootstock produces a strong, deeply rooted apple tree that is generally self-supporting once established and well suited to standards and half-standards. The trade-offs are slower bearing, considerable mature size and slightly more variation between individual trees than with a clonal rootstock.
