We don’t have to buy peach rootstock. We eat peaches, throw the pits in the compost, and we get at least one new peach tree unintentionally every year.
A friend of mine who knows a ton about stone fruit said that he had some concerns about selling cherry trees at such a young age as they do, since half of the trees end up dying that young from bacterial disease. The owner of OGW just blew it off and said it would be too expensive. My friend said the Raintree guy knew about it and prevented it through careful avoidance of rain at early age.
