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
