The aim of this research was to determine the best method for propagating of the wild apple species <em>Malus trilobata<\/em> (Lab). The research included several methods of propagation (sexual propagation by seeds, woody and semi-woody cuttings, Vertical Layering). The seeds and cuttings were obtained from one of the types of the wild apple species <em>Malus trilobata<\/em> (Lab) from the site of Khirbet al-Sindyanah in the Qardaha region in Latakia. The grafting process was also carried out on two types in the same site, and this study concluded that it is possible to Propagate the studied species sexually, after breaking the dormancy stage of its seeds by removing the seed coats and treating with gibberellic acid at a concentration of 100 ppm or 200 ppm, where the germination rate reached 100%, while no rooting of the woody and semi-woody cuttings took place in the applied treatments, and vertical layering did not produced any new plants. The study also showed the possibility of grafting the studied species onto the Golden delicious and Starking delicious apple varieties, where the grafting success rate reached 66.67% and 83.33% for the two varieties, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Key words<\/strong>: wild apple <em>Malus trilobata<\/em> (Lab), seeds, gibberellic acid, grafting, cuttings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u00a0Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v12n5p9.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eyad Dannoura* (1), Wael Mtawej (1), Bayan Mozher(2), and Ola Al-halabi (2) (1).
