Hi! As a plant pathologist, I love B9 because it is tolerant to fireblight. We’ve grown nice and productive trees on B9. However, I agree with Mr. Norton = our experience with HoneyCrisp/B9 is not a good one.

We also have Honeycrisp on Bud9 planted at the same time and they are half the size of the M9. We have decided to not use Bud9 again due to its slow growth pattern for our silty clay loam soil type.
