Due to the late summer heavy rains here (s.WI), some roses & pears & applesI missed your message when you first wrote it but I'll reply anyway.
had late growth and then leaves which refused to drop for the winter. One of the
worst is my M7 apple rootstocks, in a nursery which I planted for topworking in
spring 08. They are still leafy, even tho the leaves ARE all brown. I'd always
assumed that persistant leaves were a sign that wood didn't harden off properly for
winter. So, do I spend the time to collect scionwood for use on these M7s? Can I
hope to find enough healthy wood on these rootstocks next spring, or would scion
collection and then the grafting be a big waste of time?
