Rootstocks are used for grafting and budding onto. If you know or want to learn how to graft or bud, you can propagate yourself. This year we offer a handful of rootstocks, but sorry no quince or pears.
A dwarfing rootstock for growing and propagating apples and crabapples onto. These have been grown on for one year after harvesting from a stoolbed, so have established root systems.
A semi-dwarfing rootstock for growing and propagating apples and crabapple. These have been grown on for one year after harvesting from a stoolbed, so have established root systems.
Stallion rootstock are for for growing and propagating cherries only. These have been grown on for one year after harvesting from a stoolbed, so have established root systems. Trees grow up to 3m or tolerate being espaliered to 1.5m.
An extra-dwarfing rootstock for growing and propagating apples and crabapples onto. Suitable for stepovers. These have been grown on for one year after harvesting from a stoolbed, so have established root systems.
A dwarfing Quince C rootstock for propagating quinces and compatible pears. These have been grown on for one year after harvesting from a stoolbed, so have established root systems.
A beurre hardy pear grafted onto dwarfing Quince C rootstock for propagating pears that are not compatible with quince. This allows "interstemming" to bridge the gap between the pear scion and the quince rootstock. These have been grown on for two years, so more expensive than other roostocks. Established root system.
