The B9 is actually a full dwarfing rootstock, I'm using the B9 in a sandy loam soil and it's adapting quite well.

not sure if anyone monitors this but, I have a citation rootstock candy heart pluerry in southern arizona. The tree was great and had real dark green open leaves on it and then 2 days later all the leaves and branches were dried up. Never had any browning or anything, they dried out a very green color. Ive been giving it extra water in hopes to revive it but it looks like it continues to die and i dont know why. This did happen about 3 days after i added fertilizer but its the only tree that showing any unnormal signs of all the trees i fertilized. The fetilizer was administered about 2 feet from center trunk

Hadn't heard of B-9. Great video on rootstocks. Note to Ed: The word for size is "caliber" not "caliper" although calipers are used to measure diameter. ")
