Rootstock URAL 6

URAL 6® clonal rootstocks are medium-sized, upright bushes with medium-thickness shoots that do not branch and maintain a straight, rounded shape. Buds are pressed, elongated, and hairy, while leaves are oblong, egg-shaped, short-tapered, green, wrinkled, matte with coarse venation; the leaf edge is finely serrated and smooth. The root system is fibrous and well-developed, ensuring drought resistance and winter hardiness.

URAL 6® rootstock is characterized by high shoot-forming ability – an average of 8–10 pieces per bush, with standard suckering output reaching 70‑90 thousand units per hectare. Rooting ability is rated at 4.5 points, and compatibility with various varieties during budding reaches 95‑99 %. This makes it a universal choice for apple selection and breeding.

Among the advantages of URAL 6® rootstocks are disease resistance, good fruit flavor quality, and soil tolerance. Due to these characteristics, it is widely used in horticulture as a reliable material for creating new apple varieties with high yield indicators and excellent winter hardiness.
