I was impressed with what I saw in Canada of plantings on Ottawa 3
rootstocks in zone 2. And am considering putting in a planting of them.
In looking into this rootstock on the net I twice came into virus
discussions that mention it as having concern. Another rootstock of concern
is M.prunifiolia.....my principle rootstock on over 100 trees. Hmmm, if
I use scion wood from my present young orchard I wonder if I am liable to
infect a new proposed planting of ottawa 3's? How does one obtain virus
free scion wood if one has virus susecptable rootstock?
Anyone out there in Alaska or the lower 48 using ottawa 3?
Thanks, Del
