Does anyone have experience burying the root stock graft on fruit trees? I would much rather have a vigorous tree that lives longer and produces more fruit and that I can control the height myself with aggressive pruning.
Dwarfing a tree with root stock doesn’t make sense to me from an investment stand point. I’d much rather have a tree take slightly longer to produce fruit and live 100 years than a tree that produces fruit quickly but then dies after 15 or so years. What’s the point if I have to constantly be digging up these semi dwarf trees every 15 years…
Also, it seems like everything is sold as either “semi-dwarf” or “dwarf.” I rarely see nurseries selling full size trees anymore.
Anyways, does anyone have experience with burying the root stock to achieve a full size tree?
Thanks!
