The rootstock is itself an apple species or variety. See, for example, http://web.ukonline.co.uk/suttonelms/apple40.html -- Kay |

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 -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

Many Thanks Gary I had a similar question go through my mind a couple days ago. I wondered, to get a dwarf tree for rootstock, if I could plant a seed from a (grafted) dwarf apple tree & grow one? Then again, if the graft was from a larger growing specimen, would that render the new tree the same size as the original (grafted on scion wood) or the original rootstock? rob |

If you see a fruit tree that is a seedling (not grafted) and it is small (not because of age) then you can do hard wood cuttings but apple and pear stock is not that expensive! -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwallwww.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea And if memory serves, there was an article in the RHS about frruit trees fairly recently and again, if I recall correctly, chanomeles were given as the rootstock for sommat or 'tudder. Pears I think. |
