Last year I bought some Krymsk 1 and Krymsk 5 rootstocks that I potted up.
I didn't use all of them, and my labeling system didn't withstand the test
of time, so I'm wondering if there is a visual way to differentiate between
the two.

As I understand things, the Krymsk 1 can be used for plums, peaches,
apricots, almonds, pluots, plumcots, and apriums while the Krymsk 5 is for
cherries only.  If this isn't accurate and both are compatible with the full
range of prunus, then identifying what I have left over won't be as
important.

If you're familiar with these two rootstocks and know how to tell them
apart, I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks in advance,
