Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone has any experience with or opinions about using
naturally
dwarfing seedling apple crab "species" such as Malus kerr, pumila, or
sargentii as
rootstock to impart dwafing and maintain hardiness. These are reasonably
hardy and
sargentii is something like a 10 foot shrub. Will grafting cultivars onto
these
seedlings impart these desired characteristics?
