Summary Comments
Initially, Hiawatha looked promising as a semi dwarfing rootstock with nematode resistance (see Screening Rootstocks 1993 and 2001 NC-140 trial). However, further testing showed it to be quite variable in performance and is therefore no longer available from commercial nurseries. |
