ISHS Acta Horticulturae 256: V International Symposium on Pear Growing
FIRST RESULTS ON GROWTH AND CROPPING OF PEAR TREES BUDDED AT DIFFERENT HEIGHTS |
| Author: | A. Blanco |
| Abstract:
Pear trees cv 'Agua de Aranjuez' A-840 (VT) clon, budded in the nursery at 15 and 50 cm from the soil were planted with the union at 10 and 50 cm high, and growth and cropping during the first two years recorded. Scion trunk-cross-sectional area was smaller on the high-worked trees from the time of planting, and stock area at soil level was also smaller on the high-budded trees from the first year after planting. Almost all the high-worked trees carried a crop on the second year of growth, while a few (20%) of the low-budded carried some fruits, which were smaller in size. Differences in size of both scion and stock were greater by the end of the second year. | |
