I called Stark and asked what rootstock some "consumer" stuff was on. They connected me to someone who claimed to know, and I have no reason to disbelieve them. My experience is that most nurseries know what their rootstocks are and will tell you if you ask - they have limited real estate on the catalog page, and don't want to clutter it up with technical stuff that might confuse customers. Of course, if you are buying from a retailer who isn't a nursery, your odds are much worse. I doubt the folks at Home Depot know what the tops of the trees are, let alone the bottoms.

Richard,
The reference for Starks you give is only meaningful for commercial
growers ordering dozens of trees, not backyard hobbyists like myself.
Even if I were a commercial grower, only the apples seem to have
rootstock
specifications. The other fruits do not indicate anything about
rootstocks. If you order out of Starks retail catalog, you will also
have little if any information about rootstocks, and less assurance that
you
will be getting something they claim.
