Malus micromalus does. I've had a Haralson on this rootstock for 
about 9 years, still in the nursery row, don't know how hardy it is 
or how precicious or efficient. Suspect this is the one used in the 
former Soviet Union. (Was told they use mostly seedling dwarfs in 
some parts of that vast land.)
