Good Morning Mr. Fluffy,

The Lord knows I'm among the worlds worst spellers and if it weren't for
being a trademarked name I wouldn't point out the error. Krymsk 1 was
bred by Gennadiy Ereman of Krymsk Russia and the original designator
which was a breeder cultivar number was changed to Krymsk series for the
US markets. If there actually is a Krystk series I'm going to be
embarrassed, but it wouldn't be the 1st time. Yes, one of the imported
Krymsk rootstocks did have peach incompatibility problems but I don't
believe it was Krymsk 1 and I would have to check my records to find
which one it was.

Have a good week,

Jerry
