Hello,

I am a total newbie at this, so take this for what it is worth...

In working with a standard sized orchard planted in 1918, most of them
have grafted rootsocks.

Must have been hardiness issues in our zone.  We have let some of the
rootstock grow as long as 10 years, with never a flower or fruit.

Just something to think about.

Regards,
Tom
