Very popular semi-dwarf rootstock produces a tree about 65-80% of standard. Space trees 15-20' apart. No staking necessary. Fruits at a slightly younger age than standards.

Well anchored and adaptable to a wide range of soils. Resistant to woolly aphid. Not nearly as long-lived as standards. Hardy to Z4, maybe Z3.

We have two shipping options for rootstock:

Choose A, C or E for our regular late-March to mid-April shipping window (to receive rootstock with other plants, if ordered).
Choose B, D or F for mid-March (to receive rootstock with scionwood, if ordered).

Note: scionwood ships only in March. If you order scionwood and select late-March to mid-April shipping for your rootstock, they will be shipped at different times.
