[Apple-Crop] Rootstock flowers

[Tom Auvil]

G.41 will bloom, however it will want to grow every direction but up…. You will likely appreciate having a crab scion.  You could bark or side graft the rootstock as soon as the bark slips,  if you have scion wood  that is semi- dormant.

Subject: [Apple-Crop] Rootstock flowers

 

While handling/planting G41/Honeycrisp a number of trees broke at union. We decide to plant rootstock with intent of returning to graft craps or other var for pollination. Can anyone tell me if we simply allow G41 to grow will we see flowering adequate for pollination?

 

Thanks,

Mo Tougas
