Beautiful Arcade Seedlings of this old Russian cultivar are still produced
at the seed orchard in Kentville. The seedlings have a fibrous root system
which generally produce trees smaller than most other seedlings. They have
performed especially well with McIntosh and Cortland. This stock is reliable
for a wide range of soil conditions. Triploids such as Gravenstein and King
on this stock are usually slow to come into production and fail to sustain a
high level of productivity.
