Malus domestica MM106 is a versatile and reliable rootstock, ideal for apple trees with medium vigour. An excellent choice for less fertile soils or drought-prone areas, this rootstock provides strong support for weaker-growing apple varieties. MM106 combines vigour, stability and early fruit set, making it a favourite for both professional orchards and private gardens.<\/p>\n
Key features:
\nVigour: Trees on MM106 rootstock grow up to 65-70% from a seedling, which is considerably more vigorous than the M9 rootstock.
\nSuitable for various conditions: Less susceptible to drought and suitable for soils with lower fertility.
\nEarly fruiting: The rootstock supports early production, ideal for growers who want to see quick results.
\nIndependent growing: Although permanent support is not strictly necessary, it is recommended for young trees in the first few years.
\nApplications:
\nThe MM106 rootstock is ideal for:<\/p>\n
Average intensive orchards with a planting density of 650-800 trees per hectare.
\nWeaker apple varieties, where extra vigour is needed to ensure healthy trees and good yields.
\nMedium-sized apple trees in both commercial cultivation and hobby gardens.
\nPlanting advice:
\nPlanting distance: 3-4 metres on average between trees, depending on the apple variety chosen.
\nSoil requirements: Well-drained, fertile soil is ideal, but this rootstock also performs well in less favourable soils.
\nSupport: In the early years, a pole or stick is recommended for extra stability.
\nConclusion:
\nMalus domestica MM106 offers a perfect balance between vigour and flexibility. Whether in a medium-intensity orchard or an individual apple tree in less than ideal soil, this rootstock guarantees stable growth and an early, rich harvest.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
