I have been getting opposite advice on grafting apples to rootstock (like 
m26, bud 9 and 118). One grower says it's important to have a length of 
rootstock above the soil (besides just clearing the soil) as this length (4 
to 6"?) determines the amount of dwarfing. Another  grower says you only 
need to keep the top variety from rooting; that it is only what is below 
ground that determines the amount of dwarfing.   Would like a bit more 
clarity on this , thanks!  Del
