All of them were watered adequately—pots not flooded and
also not dried out. No neighbors within miles doing any kind of
spraying. Watered with rainwater from a rainbarrel. All of
the apples grafted to the same rootstock died. As I recall, the ones put
in the ground were transplanted in late May or early June, after they were
showing good growth. When I pulled up dead ones in the garden or emptied
the pots, the roots looked pathetic. My first thought was a rootstock
problem, but I don’t know much about that. This year I got
rootstock from a different source, and also have some seedling rootstock to
graft, so may be able to tell if any problems this year are related to
rootstocks. Jim |
