  1. Rootstocks are ordered lowest to highest based on the number of trees with canker. At planting the number of trees per rootstock at the Kent site was 32, and at the Gloucestershire site 40. The percentage of dead trees per rootstock, calculated by the number of dead trees over the number of trees at planting are included in parentheses. The number and percentage of dead trees with no canker symptoms is also included. The non-canker deaths were mainly caused at the Kent site by physical damage to trees from grass mowing
