Very interesting read, thanks everyone for sharing your experience, especially about rootstocks and fireblight. I need to read more. I bought an Orange Poppin grafted on M15 (is there such a thing? Straight from my memory) a few years ago, and it snapped right at grafting joint, I tied it tight back together and supported it with a chair, the top survived. I got a dozen apples last year and really liked the flavour and texture.
I’ve never had sour cherries before, are they strictly for cooking and canning, not for fresh eating?
