Rootstock MM111 is used for the propagation of fruit trees through budding or grafting the desired scion onto the rootstock. A cross between Northern Spy and M793, produced by the John Innes Horticultural Institute, that produces a tree that is larger than MM106 and about 75% of seedling size. MM111 is valuable due to its adaptability to dry sandy soils. Suckering is low, and its resistance to Woolly Aphids is good. Trees on MM111 will not require staking as the anchorage is very good.
MM111 is a good rootstock for poor soils and dry areas where extra vigor is required for better cropping. An excellent rootstock for spur-bearing varieties. MM111 has been successful when used for replant situations in Victoria.
