Anyone know where to get Viking rootstock?

Hey Chris! I’m a bit late I imagine, but if the offer was still open I’d be extremely interested in a cutting.

I’m in 7a on hardpack clay fighting nematodes and canker on a small neighborhood lot so I’m very interested in the resistances claimed with Viking for my circumstances.

ChrisTEXAS if you are willing to give up one more of your viking rootstocks I would love one too? I would be in no rush and could send some cutting from my combo pluot, combo euro plum, combo pear tree, desert king fig, or honeycrisp apple sometime. It seems like you already have alot of different pluots and plums so you would probably already have the variety’s I have.

Viking does root fairly quickly for me as long as you use sharpie thick cuttings or better cuttings, morning sun only and stick them early spring (prior to almond bloom) with rooting hormone. I rooted them outside in zone 9.

Foundation Plant Service, UC Davis, will sell you Viking cuttings. $5 each with a $150 minimum. They have lots of other root and fruit scion to choose from. Mix and match in multiples of 5 each.
