| Does anyone have any suggestions about the best rootstock choices for potted apple trees for zone 7B in NC? If I buy from my two preferred nurseries, I'm limited to the following options: Bud9 My first instinct was to go with Bud9 since it produces a smaller tree and might fruit earlier, but, presumably, growing in containers will naturally dwarf the trees and likely encourage earlier fruiting...so does it really matter? |

| I'd do the Bud 9 mainly for one reason, being less vigorous it might not become root bound as soon as the others. It is also pretty good in most other attributes. |

| That makes sense -- I'll go with Bud9. Thanks, fruitnut... |
