Observations, suspicions, history |
MM.106 can be a good choice, and is more productive than M.7 on most well drained sites. Commercial interest in MM.106 is declining because it is larger than necessary for most applications. MM.106 is a good choice for spur type scion varieties on poor, light soils. |
