2004 Comice Row

Tonasket Rootstock Trial

In 2004, Taylor's Gold Comice were planted on three different rootstocks:

OHxF 97, OHxF 87, and Pyrodwarf

They were planted at 10 foot spacing down the row, and in 2006, prior to their third growing
season, they were interplanted with Taylor's Gold on OHxF 87, reducing the in-row spacing
to 5 feet.

From the third leaf on, this row will be trained to a 4-wire, 10 foot tall trellis.
