BetulaFolia rootstock?

Yarg

5 year old buck +
I was reading this seems to be the most preferred rootstock 4 Asian pears.. does anybody have experience with comparing this to old home x97.
Also wondering if anybody has this rootstock what would be the finish height with an Asian pear some sources said 10 to 12 ft other said 18 to 20.. for Shinko and or Olympic. Thanks
 
I grafted a variety of euro, Asian,
and crosses last year. None of the Asian I did are the commercial ones usually grafted on P. Bet. My P. Bet rootstock came from Burntridge and had poor roots. Those that survived did not do well. I'm hoping they take off this summer. If they continue to struggle, i might decide to scrap. I have many of the same varieties on either OHxF97 or 87. I expected the P. Bet to be bigger but don't know first hand.
 
Some sources say this Rootstock tolerates wet soils well also.
