are seedlings rootstock?
A rootstock is part of a plant, often an underground part, from which new above-ground growth can be produced. It can refer to a rhizome or underground stem.[1] In grafting, it refers to a plant, sometimes just a stump, which already has an established, healthy root system, onto which a cutting or a bud from another plant is grafted. Much of the world's apple production is now using dwarf rootstocks to improve efficiency, increase density and increase yields of fruit per/acre. The following is a list of the dwarfing rootstock that are commonly used today in apple production: Malling 9 rootstock is the most common and well known dwarfing rootstock. This rootstock should be planted in a well drained site, and requires staking for the duration of its life.

Spring budding of plum and apricot on fall planted hardwood cuttings of ‘Marianna’ plum produce a tree in 1 year. Plum is generally T- or chip budded in fall on ‘Myrobalan’ seedling rootstock. T-Budding (a.k.a. Shield budding) Budwood should be collected from the current season’s growth and budded onto one-year old rootstock. Rootstock should be ¼ inch to 1 inch in diameter and growing actively with “slipping” bark to ensure successful budding. The rootstock may be a different species from the scion, but as a rule it should be closely related, for example, many commercial pears are grown on quince rootstock. Grafting can also be done in stages; a closely related scion is grafted to the rootstock, and a less closely related scion is grafted to the first scion.

Stone Fruit Propagation by Grafting & Budding. Not all stone fruit scions are compatible with available Prunus rootstocks, although incompatibility between rootstock and scion (graft incompatibility) may not be apparent for several years after establishment. This rootstock also saved France's grape industry in the early 1900s when phylloxera decimated the wine and vineyards of Europe. Apple rootstock. Apple rootstocks are used for apple trees and are often the deciding factor of the size of the tree that is grafted on to the root. Dwarfing, semi-dwarf, semi-standard and standard are the size benchmarks for the different sizes of roots that will be grown, with standard being the largest and dwarf being the smallest. A rootstock is part of a plant, often an underground part, from which new above-ground growth can be produced. It can refer to a rhizome or underground stem. In grafting, it refers to a plant, sometimes just a stump, which already has an established, healthy root system, onto which a cutting or a bud from another plant is grafted. In some cases, such as vines of grapes and other berries, cuttings may be used for rootstocks, the roots being established in nursery conditions before planting them o
Yes, seedlings are rootstock.
