M.9 rootstock favored larger fruits, whereas P 22 and P 59 – smaller ones<br />

(Table 6). This conf<strong>ir</strong>med previous findings of Kruczyñska and Czynczyk (1998)<br />

and Skrzyñski (2002). Some authors reported that rootstock M.9 favored better<br />

fruit coloring, whereas worse for P 22 and M.26 (Pätzold and Fisher, Baab, 1998).<br />

However, this was not true for this experiment – investigated rootstocks did not<br />

affected fruit coloring (Table 7).<br />

Conclusions. 1. The investigated rootstocks significantly influenced trees’ vigour<br />

expressed as trunk cross-section area (TCSA).<br />

2. Rootstocks did not have an impact on fruit set.<br />

3. The total yield did not depend on used rootstock. The most productive trees<br />

were those grafted on rootstocks P 22 and P 59 followed by M.9, P 60 and M.26.<br />

4. Rootstocks significantly differentiated the mean weight of fruit.<br />
