Does anyone have any experience with the winter hardiness of M9-Nic29
rootstock?

Hugh:
According to the Washington Tree Fruit Research Commission M9-Nic29
rootstock is under the category of (fair) for cold hardiness.
Their rankings range Tolerant, Good and Fair.

Are you really sure you want HoneyCrisp/B9 ?
Sounds to me like a combination that will result in trees that won’t grow
enough.

Thanks Gary. If you have any Honeycrisp on
Vincent,
I planted a few hundred Honeycrisp on Bud 9 last spring and got an average
of 46 of leader growth this season. Talking to a large grower in Yakima,
Washington last year, he informed me that Bud 9 was his best producer of
Honeycrisp, getting 60 + bins per acre. I'm fairly new at this,
Hugh, we have been growing Granny Smith, Zestar and Pristine here at Royal Oak
Farm on M9 in far northern Illinois for about 4 years now and have had good
results. We also have Honeycrisp on Bud9 planted at the same time and they are
half the size of the M9. We have decided to not use Bud9
Hi! As a plant pathologist, I love B9 because it is tolerant to fireblight.
We’ve grown nice and productive trees on B9. However, I agree with Mr. Norton =
our experience with HoneyCrisp/B9 is not a good one.

Hello all, for the better part of 2013, the CFIA (Canadian agency) worried the
whole industry by reporting a case of apple proliferation phytoplasma (APP) in
Canada.
We now learn that after intensive sampling, the whole thing was a dud.
I’m personally relieved because APP is a serious issue,
R: winter hardiness of Nic29 /M9:
The common problem in the inland Pacific Northwest isn't often from classic,
low temperature winter damage. Our more common problems with the M9 clones
comes from sudden cold snaps in the fall. The trunks of younger trees on M9
seem slower to develop
No doubt that B9 is extremely winter hardy.
If you pamper those trees so they grow, it could be ok.
Our Honeycrisp/B9 never filled their space (12’ x 4’)
Others had good results with that combination =

Tim,
Any observations / knowledge / experience with Bud 9 during the cold snap
of 2010?

There were no complaints about Bud9 hardiness or trunk damage on trees with
that rootstock. It has a reputation as being hardy, but we can't use it on
old soils, because it is very susceptible to replant disease. It runts out
and eventually dies.It does better on deep soil in new orchard
Hugh;
We are completely sold out of Honeycrisp on Bud 9 for 2014.
Very large waiting list also for this combination also. Some people like it
and others do not.
If you grow the tree first, then start to crop it you should have minimal
problem.
Some growers have a problem filling the space
My first experiment with apple trees was the spring of 2012. I planted 500
trees, mostly on bud 9. I didn't do a soil test before planting as the
USDA rates the soil here as being prime farm land with a Ph of 7. I
planted and used a NPK slow release (Osmocote). The next year, before my
next
The alternative is what if APP was present and they did not implement the
quarantine? Think of the Plum Pox virus.. Mosbah

I agree.
What I find questionable is that they presented the case as confirmed APP. I
hope they learned from this episode that they should say something like
orchards were put in quarantine because SUSPECTED of disease, and not claim a
confirmed case before the work is done.

Simple solution -- pre-order and plant them 2 ft. X 10 ft. Will make you,
and the nursery, happy...:-)

I worked in Florida as a horticulturalist for ten years and in California
for twenty. I found that even though parts of Florida and parts of
California had the same climate zones, many things would not grow in both
areas. For example, the plant, Croton, (Codiaeum variegatum) a common
