- Observation Tree survival after five years was 79% on Rootpac-40 rootstock.
- Observation The remaining rootstocks showed no tree mortality.
- Association Rootstock genotype influenced tree vigour and canopy height and width from the year of planting in 2016.
- Observation Rootpac-70 consistently produced the largest trees by truck cross-sectional area in the first five years of production.
- Intervention effect By year five, Rootpac-70 trees were 38% larger in truck cross-sectional area than Bailey.
