It might take a few years for them to produce some fruit, but it would be fun to raise them from the cuttings. Quote \| Reply \| Report

In a standard sized tree, I'd suppose the rootstalk and the upper would be one and the same and thus, would provide fruit like the parent. Any of the dwarfing rootstalks, however, will probably disappoint. Fritz Quote \| Reply \| Report
