Fruiting fairly quickly in 3-4 years.

- M26 : For trained or low-stem apple trees, ideal for small city gardens. Small apple tree (3m) with very rapid fruiting (2-3 years). Not suitable as a tree for outdoor use due to its weak root system (but much better than M9) unless it is well supported for life.
Lifespan 40 years and more.
