Malus Dolgo rootstock is extremely cold hardy down well into Plant Hardiness Zone 3, and is very comparable to Antonovka in many ways. It makes an excellent choice for wildlife trees, because it produces a full size 20’ to 30’ tree. This standard rootstock will develop deep well defined root system. This makes it extremely well anchored, penetrating well into the sub soil pulling up lost nutrients and making Malus Doglo drought tolerant. It is adaptable to many soil types and conditions, allowing it to do especially well when planting in less desirable locations.
This could be used in areas such as wooded food plots, reclaimed land, shale mountain soil, dryer uplands and ridges. This Standard rootstock will also perform very well in improved soil in an
orchard style setting as well. Malus Dolgo is gaining in popularity as a rootstock because of its famed heritage of being disease resistant. This rootstock is very compatible with most all apple and crabapple scion wood. Rootstock size is 1/4" to 3/8"
