The message
from "Brian" --- 'flayb' to respond contains these
words:

The best, is to select a known rootstock, and even then I would not
advise Bramley. Bramley is an historic apple and imo that is where it
belongs.

Bramley may well be historic - for rather limited values of history -
but it is still one of the most versatile apples around, and probably
the best cooker there has ever been.

Brian - what do you see as the disadvantages of Bramley? What would you
recommend instead?

Most surprisingly the MM106 rootstock is itself an exceptionally good
keeping cooker. Just left alone and not grafted etc.
Best Wishes Brian.
