(G41, Geneva 41)
G.41 is a dwarfing rootstock for apples, similar in vigour to M9, but capable of heavier yields.
It was developed in the USA and as a result has excellent cold-hardiness and disease-resistance, including reistance to fireblight and woolly apple aphid.
Trees on G.41 generally have wide branch angles and good fruit size.
G.41 has brittle roots and the graft union can be weak. For this reason permanent support is always necessary.
Trees can be spaced just 1m apart for commercial plantings, i.e. 3000 trees per hectare. However 2m - 3m between the trees will be a more relaxed spacing for small growers.
Rootstocks are usually 8-10mm grade, the best size for grafting. Please order by January for delivery in February - March. If you wish to order a large number of rootstocks please contact us.
Let me know when G.41 apple rootstocks are back in stock.
If you do not hear from us by March you can contact us to pre-order for next autumn.
