<Grafting?>

Jonafree, JerseyMac, Regal Gold, Mac, etc...are grafted to dwarfing rootstock such as Malling 9 (M9) to get the desired size of tree, disease resistance, etc...

I've had good luck with M9 and M26 rootstock. Very good production at a young age. Makes a low, compact tree that is very easy to work with, but with lots of apples.

Here's more about the various rootstocks for anyone who happens to be interested...
