usually they provide a dwarfing apple rootstock (M9 or similar), and some 5-8 different apple varieties to choose for grafting on top. i don't think there is usually much choice between different species of fruit rootstocks. for that you need to come march 7th to our Fruit Propagation Fair....
Just received this from Joanie Cooper:
The rootstock provided for the grafting class is apple, M-9. That is the only rootstock available on that day. If there is any left over after the classes, someone can purchase it at the same price we sell at the Prop. Fair, which is $4. for members and $5.for non-members.
