I want to try some grafting and was wondering what rootstocks you all would
recommend for apple and pear trees. Here are my parameters:
--Zone 5/6 (right on the line) generally we have plenty of moisture in SE
Ohio, some snowfall in winter, our biggest weather hazards are early thaws
and late freezes
--heavy clay soil ..I am working to amend the soil, but it takes time!
--fireblight is a problem here
--we have the usual range of pests and diseases, but except for fireblight,
nothing major
--I would like rootstock that will produce a tree that is dwarf or
semi-dwarf.
I am pretty new to this, so any tips would be most appreciated!
