Rootstocks

We will list rootstocks after harvest as the available quantity can vary greatly from one season to the next. Use the NOTIFY ME button for an alert when stock becomes available.

September is an ideal month to graft pomme fruits which include apples, pears and quinces.

TIP: You can delay grafting for weeks (into November) by keeping rootstocks and scion wood in a refrigerator or cool room at normal vegetable crisper temperatures, i.e. from 4º-6º C. Keep rootstock roots moist, scion wood wrapped in damp newspaper sealed in plastic bags. Remove the rootstocks a week or so before grafting so they start to move.
