Cherry Tree Rootstocks

Colt rootstocks are ideal for grafting your own cherry trees. Grafting is pretty straightforward and has a high success rate (all our varieties are grafted). While it is fun to make your own tree, for the amateur grower, grafting is generally most effective when you are trying to replicate an unknown variety or one which is no longer available commercially. Colt rootstocks are ideal for free standing bushes and half standards.

Please note that our guarantee does not apply to your grafted trees, just to the rootstock itself which should always have come into growth before grafting.

Rootstocks will be despatched in February and March.

Please note that our guarantee does not apply to your grafted trees, just to the rootstock itself, which should have always come into growth before grafting (so you should know before you graft if the rootstock is alive and viable).
