Summary: The overall goal of the project was to develop a protocol from orchard establishment to cropping for ‘WA 38’ in combination with 9 of the most popular and adopted rootstocks in WA: ‘Bud9’, ‘Bud10’, ‘G.11’, ‘G.213’, ‘G.41’, ‘G.935’, ‘G.969’, ‘G.890’, ‘M.9-T337’. Due to poor quality trees originally planted and the severe heat waves that hit the PNW in June 2021, the orchard was replanted with well-feathered trees in April 2022, allowing us to plant 2 additional combinations.
