I've seen a Hawthorn used as rootstock for Cottoneaster. I guess Cottoneaster can be used as rootstock for Hawthorn. The tree I saw is over 30 yrs old. You might wonder why would you do that. for ornamental reasons, the mounding cottoneaster and the really thick truck of the hawthorn is quite intresting.

Joe,

The Husdown x Barnloft crossbreed integrated quite readily wit
cotoneaster, right to the point where I was able to make several
samples for the following season, which took on will gusto.
