Subject: [NAFEX] pruning back rootstock

I've got a bunch of OHxF 333 that I had to dig up from a nursery bed. They
were all grafted to Kieffer last year & not a single graft took. (Maybe an
incompatibility?)
My question is, I've got these things in pots & they really look like they
need pruning. Some are 3 feet high, multiple uprights. All of the rootstock
looks vigorous & is in good shape. How much & what kind of wood to leave?
Or is it better to wait until I get them grafted to do any pruning?
