Rootstock Quince C is used for the propagation of fruit trees through budding or grafting the desired scion onto the rootstock. Quince rootstock is used for both quince and selected varieties of European pear.
Pears grafted on to the Quince C rootstock produce the smallest pear trees. The height after 5-10 years will be about 2.5 m to 3 m or so.
Quinces grafted on Quince C are likely to reach 3 m in reasonable growing conditions.
Not recommended for heavy soils.
Check our information on pear rootstocks.
Rootstocks supplied in bundles of 5 grafting size plants.
*Plant growth is always influenced by climate, nutrition, water availability, scion vigour, etc, so height figures are always only a guide.
