The length of the interstem is not overly important in this situation. Here is some callery pear rootstocks i was growing out with their brilliant red fall folliage.

It sounds like it may also depend on soil structure and chemistry:

Breaks down much faster in high pH soil than low. So, I would have less of an issue if I had stayed in Kansas than if I were to plant a walnut here in New Hampshire.
