From reading on here about Fuji on M111. They do not do well. Grow too much wood I read.

LR,
Last year I got 8 trees from them, on sale, and they were very nice. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them.

I have had good luck with them but you never know? Companies change. so many Fuji varieties, and root stocks, it is confusing as to which to buy???

If rootstock is important to you, avoid Starks.

Because Starks won't tell you what rootstocks you're getting when you buy from them. If "dwarf" or "semi-dwarf" is all you want to know, they're fine. But if you want to use or avoid a specific rootstock, it's a problem.

Several threads around here on this issue.
