I planted these in 2022 and if you look close they have started to sucker. I raked around it ti encourage more.
I topped one over to a couple known varieties. They grow super fast on established rootstock

I’d think grafting just about anything this time of year would be fruitful. I did a couple mulberry and a bradford pear yesterday. I have a few M111 rootstocks in the ground left to go. Never enough time.

It was a 4 foot tall cage, I’m not sure on the diameter but it wasn’t big enough. For these smaller cages, I’ve since doubled a few up which should be a better deterrent. Or just leave on the original 5’ tall cage for the life of the tree.
