VERY-DWARFING STOCK
Mailing IX ¹ (Jaune de Metz) is the very-dwarfing stock in common use. It makes small trees, suitable for gardens and for temporary ‘fillers’; excellent for cordons and for espaliers of strong-growing varieties. Its roots, though surprisingly extensive, provide a less secure anchorage than do those of the less-dwarfing stocks, and trees on it may need staking. Trees on IX come into bearing two or three years from budding or grafting, but with some varieties the fruits are unduly large and somewhat out of character.

SEMI-DWARFING STOCKS
Mailing II (Doucin), which is widely used, makes early-fruiting bushes, cordons and espaliers. Trees on it are moderately vigorous, very fruitful, and longer-lasting perhaps and certainly more robust than those on the very-dwarfing stock.
VIGOROUS STOCKS
Mailing I (Rivers’ Broad-leaved English Paradise) is the stock of this type which is in most general use. It is excellent for bushes and espaliers, and particularly for bushes of free-cropping varieties—Lane’s Prince Albert, Stirling Castle—which are apt to be stunted when worked on the dwarfing stocks. It gives also a firmer anchorage, but the trees come not so soon to maturity. The best stock for bush and trained trees on poor land.
