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?
