apples fruiting on wild saskatoon rootstock. a selection of apples grafted about shoulder high onto established saskatoon/ serviceberry, up high above the deer browse line. at three years old, showing good graft compatibility and precocity. is this supposed to be possible? well.. good question. I seem to have stumbled across something that works, similar to how quince is a good rootstock for pear.
