Default Growing apples from cuttings?

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

I have acess to cuttings from a rootstock tree. The grafted top blew
down in a gale and the apples which came on the regrowth were entirely
different from what were on the bit which came off. They are in
themselves, pretty respectable cookers.

This will be the 106 which is very good in its own right. It is unnamed and
strikes well from cuttings. Other numbered rootstocks all have a distinct
crab apple flavour.


Aye, thanks - you mentioned that on the 19th October last year.
