G11 is a sensible choice for a compact trained apple tree or an easily harvested central leader. It crops early, yields efficiently and provides greater protection from fire blight than traditional dwarfing stocks. Final tree size varies noticeably with the scion, soil and management. Long-term support and a regular supply of water and nutrients remain important.

G.11 or Geneva 11 is a popular dwarf apple rootstock, producing a mature tree with a similar size to the M9 rootstock.
G.11 was developed to be much more cold-hardy than M9, and also more resistant to fireblight. It is also considerably more productive than M9, yields are likely to be 20% greater.
Trees on G.11 can be managed in the same was as traditional M9 dwarf trees. They need permanent support, and like all dwarf rootstocks do best on good quality soils, with irrigation in drier climates.
Trees can be spaced just 1m apart for commercial plantings, but 2m – 3m between the trees will be a more relaxed spacing for small growers.
