Sherwin,

Thank you for the response.

Does anyone know where I can find a link to a picture of the fruit of M27? 
The reason I ask is I recently rediscovered a planting I made some 8 years 
ago of some 39 varieties of apples on M27.   The rabbits had a feast and 
gnawed everything in site, which naturally regrew, but the issue becomes is 
it the scion or the rootstock that regrew. but I can tell some stuff must 
have survived as the bloom rates a radically different on several (they are 
probably Northern Spy based on their location and the fact they re still 
dormant and I grafted several NS).

It is sort of  mystery as to what survived.  But an intriguing one as I have 
a grid of what I planted only need to identify a few varieties in order to 
apply it. OF course knowing what the rootstock fruit looks like will greatly 
simplify the task.

One intersting thing is M27 must root a lot easier than I thought, as many of 
the bush/trees were blown over and rooted in several places and the rootstock 
grew laterally underground.

      All apple rootstocks I know of will produce fruit, but it is 
terrible tasting.  You can let yours
      grow to satisfy your curiosity.  Certain rootstocks, like Quince 
will give an edible fruit, but
      your M27 won't.
