We have a knoll in the swamp that seems to be fairly sandy. I looked it up on NRCS Web Soil Survey, but it classifies the soil as the same as the swamp around it. I’m guessing it’s actually Menominee Loamy Sand which is what the other high ground in the area is, but that’s just a guess. Regardless, I believe I’ll want a rootstock that is best for sandy soils.
We have a clearing on the south side of the hill with room for 8 - 10 Apple trees. The North side has some red oaks.
I want to plant some antonovka rootstock and B118 rootstock. There are some crabapples that I want from SLN which are on antonovka. Think that these are both good rootstock for a drier site?
Most of our property is wet so we’re usually dealing with low sites, not dry.
