Description
These apple tree (Malus domestica) rootstock bundles of 10 are available in three different rootstock sizes for your grating needs. Grafting is the technique whereby fresh growth from an apple tree can be “grafted” or joined onto a rootstock to create a new tree. The rootstock determines the size that this new tree will grow to.
