An interesting addendum to our Stonefruit Discussion:
Baileys Nursery, the largest cold hardy wholesale nursery operation in the US,
lists two different rootstock for it Peach vartiety offerings.
Standard is budded on Prunus americana!
Semi-dwarf budded on Myrobalan.
I have not called to check if Prunus americana is a misprint, but if not it
shows
a evry large nursery is taking the risk concerning rejection and they may know
something others do not. I am very surprised at this choice!
