misc. dwarfing rootstocks - comparing to bud 9
Comments (4)Thomis, I have around 25 trees on G-11 and G-16 from Cummins that are at the end of their 2nd season. They are at 5 foot spacing and even with pretty severe branch bending, have about grown together and are start it to touch. I will admit that I'm a new grower and frequently threw handfuls of 10-10-10 around the trees during the growing season which now realize is not a good idea.

I do understand that you'll have no choice if you want their particular variety....See MoreWhat rootstock should I use on Mineola tangelo to make it dwarf?
