Cold Hardy Apples and Crabapples: Winter Field Notes
Field note
apple rootstocks tucked in for next spring
apple rootstocks tucked in for next spring. these ones are about medium sized first year seedlings, anything smaller goes back in a bed for another year. Our two year old rootstocks hit about waist high, about as large as you want for bench grafting. Working on switching to stool beds this fall, then we should be able to grow larger more uniform rootstocks in one year. #rootstock #siberiancrabapple
