I'm having so much trouble with fireblight on my ussuriensis rootstock that 
I am seriously persuing the hawthorn avenue. Will seek old home as 
interstem...has anyone bud grafted it to hawthorn?

On the hawthorn variety subject....we have hundreds of wild hawthorns, some 
are tree size, and just today one started blooming - but its neighbor has 
long finished its bloom. Would an early or late bloomer be preferred 
rootstock?
