> >Anyone know how you grow your own rootstock?

Rob, I took this very class from the Virginia Extension Service (in Big Stone 
Gap) nearly twenty years ago.  It was very good, each participant walked away 
with ten grafted seedlings, and two of those are now mature apple trees.

Most apple trees are grafted onto quince stock.  It is readily available and 
if you want to propogate your own, just make 1' cuttings and put them in damp 
soil in the spring.
