Good afternoon,
Just wondering if there is a general ballpark figure or range regarding maximum, potential yield, in harvest weight, for apples from trees grafted onto MM106 rootstock; growing in Scotland in Inverness area, IV12 5LE?
Thanks if anyone can help,
David Cox
An "expert" professional visited the site and subsequently advised before supplying the trees, > 190 back in 2015/16 into a 1.6 acre field.
Probably not too surprisingly a few were pushed off the vertical
over time and I have recently re-staked a few. I also restricted
the main trunk height to around 4 feet.
I also planted a mixed hedge at the same time, comprising blackthorn, hawthorn, hazel and dog rose, which has established itself well and offers some protection.
Harvested around 500kg of apples this year, some varietis more productive than others.
Any general advice on possible yields gratefully received and I appreciate it is not an exact science :-)
David
