Malling series
Malling series refers to a range of rootstocks for apple trees that were developed at the East Malling Research Station in Kent, England. The series, which began in the early 20th century, has had a significant impact on apple cultivation worldwide.
History[edit | edit source]
The Malling series was initiated in 1912 by Ronald Hatton and William Tydemann at the East Malling Research Station. The aim was to develop a range of rootstocks that would allow for the control of tree size and improve the quality of the fruit. The series was named after the town of East Malling, where the research station is located.
Classification[edit | edit source]
The Malling series is divided into several classes, each with its own characteristics. These include the Malling (M), Malling-Merton (MM), and Malling-Berkeley (MB) series. The M series is the original series and includes rootstocks such as M.9 and M.26, which are dwarfing and semi-dwarfing respectively. The MM series is a result of a cross between Malling series rootstocks and 'Northern Spy', an apple variety resistant to woolly apple aphid. The MB series is a less commonly used series that was developed in the United States.
Impact[edit | edit source]
The Malling series has had a significant impact on apple cultivation worldwide. The rootstocks have allowed for the control of tree size, which has made apple trees easier to manage and harvest. They have also improved the quality of the fruit, leading to better yields and profits for apple growers.
