Bud118 & FB: I just tried some searches, but don't have time now to find the 
info. 
FB is not my main concern when choosing rootstocks, so, sorry but I don't 
know.

Yes I considered rowing out these extras so they can grow and replace the 
properly
sized tops which were cut off by the grower.  Then use next year.  But so 
often
someone on the list is seeking a few last-minute rootstocks, I wanted to offer
these.

A couple other people also recommend the budding season, but that's just more 
work
in the hot weather.  No thanks!
