Miss Me ??

 

Sorry to be such a pest, but I stand to make a $$ mistake here....

 

Does anyone have any first hand experience with Pyrus Betulaefolia  (BET) rootstock in lower zone 4 or colder?

Low temps around -20F

 

I like Cummins Nursery. They have the trees I want, on BET.

I'm a little nervous about the BET (Reimer Strain, if that matters) hardiness.

 

Could be 30 trees in the crapper here, guys... any words ??

 

Thanks again.
