Hello,

I have an Improved Snow apple grafted on  wild rootstock.  This season I  
grafted a pollenator on the tree which is an Alexis crabapple.

The Improved Snow is still holding all of it's leaves.  The Alexis  
crabapple graft dropped all it's leaves with the first/second frost.

It must be varietal based dormancy.

Later,
Tom
