I ordered some geneva 11 rootstock from Cummins. I have
never been more delighted with quality. The 3/8" x 18" stock was healthy looking and the roots were fantastic.
Now a week later they are already starting to push buds, and I will definitely use only Cummins for rootstock in the future if this one meets my requirements.
I have ordered from other sources and had 1/4" stock which a third died, another third had a very poor start and only one third were really suitable for grafting.
I also own a small nursery and know how important it is to
sell healthy plants ready to go for their new owner.
