Apple Rootstocks & Pear Rootstocks

Apple Rootstocks & Pear Rootstocks

The rootstock your fruit tree is grown on controls its ultimate size.  You can now buy some of the more popular apple rootstocks and pear rootstocks online and graft your own pear and apple trees. Successful DIY grafting is enormously satisfying and is also sometimes essential to create new stock from an old, diseased apple or pear tree - a family favourite whose name has long been lost.

This does not set out to be a step by step guide to grafting - books have been been written on the subject and we assume you either know what you are doing or will learn.  In summary however, you would plant your chosen rootstock in the winter months an let it establish so that you can graft to it when it is growing away in April or May you cut it back and graft on to it.

We presently offer MM106 and M9 apple rootstock and Quince A pear rootstocks for sale - quantities are limited so order early.

Please note that our survival guarantee applies to the rootstock, not to the graft which is ENTIRELY (Ed) your responsibility.
