Rootstocks--
Some years ago I acquired some 'Beautiful Arcade', and they have mostly
performed
nicely. I've also used Bud.118, but so far I must admit they mostly make me
wish I
had more Beautiful Arcade. Except, Bud.118 seems to be more precocious.
Also, I agree with other post: Antanovka has worked well, and I recently
bought some
MM111 when a small amount became available.
Apple list--
Do you have enough info to work with, from that other post?
