Sherwin, I did not intend to cloud the issue about dwarfing rootstocks. I  
have tried several methods and a number of rootstocks to dwarf peaches, none  
have worked well. The ones that do work were shortlived - less than 10  years.
 
Apples and pears are another story, they work well. Most people that I have  
talked to think that it is exact - a dwarf will produce a tree 6 to 8 feet   
etc. and that just is not always true. My beef and I think it is the same as  
yours, is that most mail order houses do not indicate what the rootstock is. 
 
Sorry if I clouded the issue.
