Rootstock/Planting Questions

That's a good point, and is the same case with how I do it also. The "stoneless gap" is there. And sorry to detract from the original posters questions, just that I know quite a few people toss gravel, stone or mulch around there trees.

The red flesh apples are neat. I definitely need to get one in my lineup. Thanks for the info.

If I could do only one it would be Firecracker crab.

Yes, the gap would likely prevent root growth. I'm not sure what would happen if stone were against the trunk like mounding dirt. It may depend on the depth and size of the stone.
