P18 rootstock - Pros and Cons?

[rocksnstumps]

Ordered some trees from Cummins this year. They seem to offer a fair amount of trees on P18 when you want semi/standard size trees. Will see how they do. B118 is no longer the favorite child like it was 8-10 yrs ago it seems. Sure still see it but not as much. I might have to dig a bit more on their site if they talk about rootstocks any.

I have very sandy loam, Chestnut Crab on P18 has been one of my best growers. It's 6 or 7 years old, ~20' tall, 4-5" caliper at the base, but has only produced a handful of fruit each of the last 3 years. My hope is once it's starts really bearing fruit it will be measured in bushels.
