I'm looking at Trees at the moment for my garden.

I saw an Oak with a Silver Birch rootstock at a Nottinghamshire Garden
Centre and was wondering if anyone can fill me in with info on a rootstock
of this nature, the growth changes etc...

I asked at the centre and they did not give much info apart from a reduction
in size.

I've had very little success in finding info about this on the web.

Thanks in advance,

Swiss

You see Paul, trying to graft an Oak onto a Silver Birch rootstock,
is like trying to make love to a beautiful woman. When she can only
speak Outer Mongolian, you have to present her father with a gift
of 15 sheep before you can even take her on a first date, and all 9
of her brothers insist on following you about everywhere.

Allegedly.

Well...after her 9 brothers had finished with you, you'd probably
be needing a graft of your own.

There's a customer outside, looking at the Blue Mercedes Paul.....
