I tell GRIN my research is on various aspects of wildlife usage and my results will be published here on wwwhabtat-talk.com.
I say that I am researching disease resistance (with particular attention to FB) on the requested accessions in usda zone 6 grown on emla 106, mm 11 and bud 118 rootstock.Do you guys use these for education or research? It looks like you can get the free scions if that's what you are using them for. No free scions for home gardens though. Just curious what put down on that section of the order form. Thanks-
Interesting...I didn't know that.PrairieFire is a natural semi-dwarf
I've received nice Antonovka rootstock from Burnt Ridge.I'm placing an order for what I hope/believe to be some rock solid DR crabapple varieties for birds, not deer, that will also double as beautiful flowering trees at my home.
I'm planning to put these on 'seedling' or 'standard' rootstock so that eventually I'll have very large trees...anybody know of a good source for 'seedling' rootstock?
I'm ordering Adams, Robinson, Centurion, and Prairie Fire.

I've received nice Antonovka rootstock from Burnt Ridge.
They were good size, 1/4 to 3/8 inch caliber and 3 to 4 feet tall. The B118s were topped, but the Antonovka were shipped intact. To match diameters with the GRIN scion, I was usually grafting at least a foot up the seeding rootstock.I'm looking to graft on Antonovka, what diameter/size were the rootstock? I have not purchased from Burnt Ridge.
Its always hard to match the diameters of rootstock with the scion but in my experience you don't want to small of rootstock.
Thanks!

Absolutely. My experience with a lot of the DR crabs and such is that many are small diameter. I just ordered 1/4". I figured that is small enough to W&T most, but I may have to align a single side for some. I don't think I got anything from GRIN larger than 1/4". I ended up ordering wholesale for my rootstock (m111) because I'm going to do grafting indoors in the winter and you can't get retail this year. 1/4" was also the smallest they sold in bundles of 50. Anything smaller was sold by the 100.I have seen large variations in Diameter of GRIN rootstock, based on variety.

Message on the website today says: "Due to a lapse in federal funding, this USDA website will not be actively updated. Once funding has been reestablished, online operations will continue. Requests for germplasm are not being accepted during the lapse in funding."
Government shutdown might be on the way. Some scion was shipped the last week, per media.

dang, I never got an email confirming my order from last week or the week before. I hope we all still get our order!
