about the mark rootstock...
we have older trees (15yrs old or so) on mark rootstock they are very
consistant
producers and i am not sure if the production is dependent upon the
rootstock or the cultivar
seems the rootstock would determine more but some cultivars are
extremely biannual (spelling?) on the same rootstock as the trees
next to them that produce heavily every year Alan, someone ????
