Clonal propagation<br />

■ Stable reproduction of a superior variety<br />

■ Shorten time to flower <strong>and</strong> fruit if mature tissue<br />

used for propagation<br />

■ Reduce problems with seed production, storage,<br />

<strong>and</strong> germination<br />

◆ Recalcitrance <strong>and</strong> chilling<br />

■ Many woody fruit species are propagated by<br />

grafting or budding onto seedling or clonal<br />

rootstock (e.g., ‘Gala’ on M9)<br />

■ Clonal propagation on own roots eliminates graft<br />

incompatibility problems
