Selected in 1934 from a cross of M.13 x M.9 at East Malling Research station in Maidstone, Kent, England M.27 is a very dwarfing rootstock. Ideal for home gardens where a small tree is desirable and often used to produce stepover trees.
Trees on M.27 are precocious and productive and require permanent tree support. Tree height will vary with local growing conditions and vigour of scion used, generally to about 1.5m tall x 1.5m wide.
*Plant growth is always influenced by climate, nutrition, water availability, scion vigour, etc, so height figures are always only a guide.
