   The answer is, "Yes."  I have three Honey Crisp Apple trees.  I bought 
the first one from a local nursery and it has fireblight that I constantly 
fight.  Another came from the former Bear Creek Nursery and it hasn't shown 
any sign of fireblight.  The third is grafted onto a rootstock that was here 
when I bought the farm, using a scion from the tree with the fireblight; I 
grafted onto this rootstock - no fireblight.


I was curious if anyone knows about any instance where fireblight resistance 
had been changed on a scion based on its rootstock?
