Oikos Tree Crops sells a Russian-bred apricot cv. 'Briana'.  It's listed as: 
Prunus armeniaca; hardy to -30F.  


1. Can I definitely use this as a root-stock for a standard apricot cultivar, 
such as 'Tomcot'?
2. Would I be better off using a root-stock such as Lovell, Marriana, or 
Citation?  If so, which?  (Northeast; NJ; well-drained, black moist soil with 
clay-beneath).
3. Is it legal for me to request scion-wood for 'Tomcot', or is it protected?


Thanks,
