Quince C - Root stock

[ManVFruit]

Any ideas where I can get some Quince C shipped to San Diego?

How does that compare to quince Provence?

Reported to be ideal for compact trees, 2-3m tall after 10 years I am told.

I read that quince province B29-C dwarfs the rootstock to 60% of a seedling size for loquats.
I'm using this one just to see but the plant grows so slow I didn't graft onto yet.

Is this the "C" you mentioned?

No they are not the same. C is likely to be more of a true dwarf rootstock than BA29C, however less tolerant to wet soils (should be better suited for us here in SoCal).. Here is a comparison chart I found a while back ..


 

It does seem that BA29C is more commonly available outside Europe. where did you source your BA29C rootstock ?

Raintree nursery.
