AI Technical Summary
Southern apple trees grow too fast, and the lower part of the branches is prone to becoming bare, resulting in a yield of around 3,000 jin (1,500 catties), which limits the large-scale promotion of southern apples.
Wild Malus hupehensis was used as the seedling rootstock, and M26 was used as the intermediate rootstock. Dwarf and high-yielding southern apple seedlings were cultivated through grafting techniques, including the selection, domestication and layering of M26 intermediate rootstock, which was then grafted onto wild Malus hupehensis seedling rootstock to form dwarf seedlings suitable for southeastern Jiangxi.
The cultivated southern apple seedlings are moderately vigorous with a higher rate of short branches, better flower bud differentiation, and significantly increased yield. The yield reaches 2,000 jin in the third year, 4,000 jin in the fourth year, and 5,000-10,000 jin in the fifth year. They are suitable for high temperature and high humidity environments, easy to manage and renew, and improve farmers' production and income.
