| I called Arbor Day to inquire what their "dwarf" rootstock is that they graft Montmorecny and Early Richmond to. They told me it's prunus besseyi (aka sand cherry). I looked it up and it's a North American native bush type wild cherry. Does anyone have any experience trying fruiting cherry varieties grafted on this rootstock?
They said their standard rootstock is Mahaleb. I know they ship tiny trees so I don't need to hear about that. Thanks, thomis |

| IMO Prunus besseyi and Cherries are not compatible ? |

| Are you saying they are not compatible or are you asking if they are compatible? You are throwing me off with your question mark at the end of your statement. |

| Interesting Thom! I never knew they were compatible, I have grafted plums in the past, I guess next step is to try cherries. |

| I want to bump this to see if I can get some better info on the prunus besseyi (aka sand cherry) rootstock. |
