Wonder if someone can help please.

I understand the different qualities of apple rootstock i.e. M26, M106
etc, but what is rootstock actually grown from, cant seem to find
anything on the internet.

Many Thanks

Gary

Seedling apples are selected, trialed and if they display the desired
characteristics are given a clone number and there after propagated by
hard wood cuttings stooling or these days possibly microproped. They are
not necessarily domestic apples but could be any Malus, ie crab apple
