Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone has any experience with or opinions about using naturally 
dwarfing seedling apple crab "species" such as Malus kerr, pumila, or sargentii as 
rootstock to impart dwafing and maintain hardiness. These are reasonably hardy and 
sargentii is something like a 10 foot shrub. Will grafting cultivars onto these 
seedlings impart these desired characteristics?
