I am not sure how to ask this question. Stuart and I have discussed it. Maya and I might have touched on it.
If you have a scion from a larger domestic apple and put it on a crab rootstock, can the topworked portion or the scion/cleft graft outgrow the rootstock?
I realize tree vigor is involved in part of this.
When asking about crab rootstock, think of the red splendor crab or something similar as rootstock.
Many of our wild crabs resemble red splendor in tree size and growth habit of branches.
