Most surprisingly the MM106 rootstock is itself an

That's very interesting. Other details? (x-ploid, size of crop,
bearing habits, etc)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#
Diploid[34], Spur fruiting, Very green and slightly angular~a
little colour. Free fruiting and keeps well. Not used before end

Nov.
Has no name~supposedly in common with 90% of UK vars.. 1932 as

cross
between English Broadleaf and [prob.] Northern Spy.
Well worth growing in its own right~~ but not in quantity.

Pollen
is very good quality.
Best Wishes Brian.


Many thanks, Brian. Duly noted.
