[nafex] rootstocks without grafting?

While looking through the Bailey catalog I see that they offer a number of trees intended to be used as rootstocks for grafting.

Might any of these be grown for their own fruit?

Pear, Old Home x Farmingdale 87 (tree is 61-70% size of common pear)

Pear, Old Home x Farmingdale 97 (tree is 71-90% size of common pear)

Cherry, Gisela 6 (a cross of /Prunus cerasus/ and /Prunus canescens/)

Cherry, Gisela 12 (a cross of /Prunus cerasus/ and /Prunus canescens/)

Myrobalan plum

Myrobalan plum x Peach, Krymsk 86

I have been off e-mail for awhile, sorry for the belated reply.

When I view the kaki seed alongside 'wild' D. virginiana, I see that the
kaki seed is of a similar shape, but larger and flatter. The kaki seed
is 21 mm long compared to 18 - 19 mm of teh virginiana. Kaki is 14mm
wide compaed to 11mm of the virginiana seed

[nafex] wet rootstock?

This question came up on a post about apples. I have no idea.

"What do you have coming on wet root rootstock as the garden surface is 2 feet to the surface water table?"

Anything to recommend?
