Abstract: [Objectives] The paper was to provide a reference for screening dwarfing rootstock suitable for main spur-type Fuji cultivars in central and southern Hebei Province. [Methods] With spur-type Fuji ‘Tianhong 2’ as the material, the vegetative growth, yield and fruit quality of 8 different rootstock-scion combinations were compared. [Results] ‘Tianhong 2’/SH6 as self-rooted rootstock had large average single fruit weight (256.33 g), large number of fruits per plant (188.68), the highest yield [(3 250.08±23.42) kg/667 m2] and the highest colored area (93.5%), and the soluble solid content reached the requirement of high quality fruit (15.78%). [Conclusions] In central and southern Hebei Province, ‘Tianhong 2’ grafted on SH6 self-rooted rootstock has moderate growth, high yield and good fruit quality, so it can be considered as the preferred rootstock-scion combination in the local area.
