Earlier when I bench grafted a few apples I noticed that the rootstock appeared to have been propagated from cuttings.  So after grafting I gathered the cuttings, dipped into rooting hormone and put into a cutting mix,  At this point it appears that most will root.  I will plant at least a couple and if I decide to plant more trees next year will use these for rootstock but at this point if my grafts take I don't need more apple trees and I was wondering if the EMLA 111 will produce fruit for wildlife?  It would be handy to have a known rootstock variety tree I could collect cuttings from and root more rootstock.  
Are other rootstock varieties as easy to propagate from cuttings, esp MM7?

M111 , M26 , M7 all have burr knot tendency and will root by cutting.

M111 apples are 75 to 100 grains , sour and astringent.

Rootstocks with edible apples? P.1 , P.2 and P.14.

Mostly as acidic cookers though.
