“…Geneva 214 (4214) found out to be G.222 at Willow Drive Nursery”

M7 to M.26 size WAA resistant Very resistant to fire blight Good cold hardiness Tolerant of Phytophthora problems Not resistant to replant disease complex

• Productivity efficiency as good or better than

M.7

• Interest in South Africa for this stock

M.7 size or slightly smaller tree WAA resistant Very resistant to fire blight Tolerant to replant disease complex Tolerant to Phytophthora problems Production efficiency similar to M.9T337 in PA Low to moderate suckering (?)

M.7 size tree Resistant to WAA Very resistant to fire blight Tolerant to replant disease complex Tolerant to Phytophthora problems Good cold hardiness Productivity as good or better than M.7 Low suckering and burr knots
