Doug
Just for clarification:
Does P22/B118 mean the roots are B118 and the interstem is P22?  Or the other way around?
Does this combination have a history of runting out a lot of different scion varieties?
Or does Golden Nugget have a history of runting out on rootstocks?
Thanks

I made the mistake of grafting Golden Nugget onto P22/B118 interstem rootstock in '86 and it "runted out" on me but I still got a few (very few) nice apples off of it almost every year till it died along with a bunch of other stuff last winter.
