Prunus avium(Cherry) The rootstock we use for grafting sweet and pie cherries. Shallow spreading root system. Longer lived than Mahaleb though not as hardy. Does not do well in heavy poorly drained soils. Z4/5.
We have two shipping options for rootstock:
Choose A for our regular late-March to early-May shipping window (to receive rootstock with other plants, if ordered). Choose B for mid-March (to receive rootstock with scionwood, if ordered).
Note: scionwood ships only in mid-March. If you order scionwood, and then select late-March to early-May shipping for your rootstock, they will be shipped at different times.
We do our best to provide ¼" caliper stock. Because of factors beyond our control (such as weather!) stock may be 3⁄16–3⁄8".

Additional Information
Hardy Rootstocks
We carry a selection of rootstocks that we consider to be some of the
best
options for home or commercial use. Even without grafting, any of these
will
produce fruit suitable for wildlife. For rootstocks we do not currently
stock, or for larger calipers or larger quantities, please
contact us
for information. We also offer
knives and grafting supplies
in the Organic Growers Supply branch of Fedco.
Please note! We do our best to provide ¼" caliper stock.
Because of factors beyond our control (such as weather!) stock may
be
3/16–3/8". We cannot guarantee scion or rootstock
diameter.
Please join us in late March for the annual
Seed Swap and Scionwood Exchange,
held every Spring at MOFGA in Unity, ME. Visit
